Missouri – Gray skies hang low over downtown streets as the morning commute begins. Temperatures hover near 31 degrees, and the air feels damp and raw. A few flurries brush the pavement early, just enough to catch headlights and slick up bridges.
Clouds dominate much of the day, holding highs near the upper 30s. Winds stay light, but cold surfaces remain a concern early. Drivers should watch shaded roads and elevated ramps during the morning hours. Conditions improve steadily as the day goes on.
Skies begin to break tonight. Temperatures slip into the mid-20s, setting up a sharp contrast for the days ahead. By Thursday, sunshine returns and southwest winds kick in. Highs jump into the low 50s, signaling a clear shift away from winter’s grip.
Friday continues the warming trend. Bright sun and calmer winds push highs into the mid-50s across the metro. Snow piles shrink fast, and afternoon travel feels easier. Refreezing remains possible after dark where meltwater lingers.
The weekend stays mild for early February. Saturday brings mostly sunny skies and highs near 52 degrees. Sunday turns even warmer, approaching the upper 50s. Outdoor plans look favorable, though mornings still start chilly.
