St. Louis, MO – Bitter cold conditions will grip the region through early this week, with wind chills dipping below 0° across much of Missouri Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service St. Louis.
Forecasters say the week will begin frigid, with widespread subzero wind chills expected through at least Tuesday morning. Monday’s lows will hover near 10°, while gusty northwest winds will make it feel even colder for early commuters.
According to the NWS, a slight warm-up is expected Tuesday afternoon as temperatures climb into the mid-30s and lower 40s. However, mornings will continue to bring dangerous cold for anyone outdoors for extended periods.
Residents are urged to bundle up in layers, cover exposed skin, and limit time outside during the early morning hours. Frostbite can occur in as little as 30 minutes under current conditions.
The cold snap is part of a broader Arctic system sweeping across the central United States, bringing winter hazards from Kansas to southern Illinois.
