Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Missouri Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. If you stepped outside earlier, you felt that wind bite. We're talking 28 degrees that feels like the teens, thanks to northwest gusts hitting 30 miles an hour. Western Missouri, you're climbing to 33 degrees by 4 P.M., then crashing to 16 overnight with wind chills near 14 degrees. Eastern Missouri? Even colder — highs barely touch 32, lows drop to 17. And it'll feel like 14 degrees. Southwest Missouri gets a slight break at 38 today, but you're still falling to 17 tonight. Here's the thing: those wind chills mean exposed skin can freeze in minutes after sunset. And with bone-dry air and gusty winds, the National Weather Service is flagging elevated fire danger today. Not the day to burn leaves or toss cigarettes out the window. But here's where it gets wild. By Tuesday, we're launching into the 60s. Western Missouri jumps from 33 today to 60. Eastern Missouri leaps from 32 to 55. Southwest Missouri? A balmy 62. That's a 30-degree swing in 48 hours — spring showing up uninvited. Looking at the week ahead: Monday stays chilly in the 30s. Tuesday kicks off the warmup near 60 with gusty southwest winds. Wednesday climbs to the mid-60s with a chance of rain overnight. Thursday stays near 60 with lingering showers early. And Friday? We're flirting with 70 degrees before things cool down next weekend. So. Quick favor — if this helped you plan your day, drop us a rating. It helps more folks find us. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Missouri Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Here's the deal. Step outside and you'll feel winter reminding you it's still in charge. But honestly? It's not its best work. Southwest Missouri wins the warmth contest today with highs near 30 degrees. Head northeast toward St. Louis or up toward Hannibal and you're sitting in the mid 20s. Not a dramatic split, but enough that your cousin in Springfield brags a little. Winds stay gentle. Six to seven miles an hour out of the north. Just enough to make your nose run, not enough to steal your hat. Southwest Missouri carries a slight chance of flurries this afternoon. Nothing that'll stick. More like winter sneezing on you. Tonight the real cold settles in. Teens statewide under mostly clear skies. That means patchy frost by sunrise. If you parked outside, give yourself an extra five minutes with the scraper tomorrow morning. Sunday brings a quiet encore. Mid 20s up north, near 30 again down southwest. Nothing dramatic. But here's where it gets interesting. A warm up is sneaking in. By midweek you're looking at 40s. Thursday could flirt with the 50s. No major storms in sight. Just a slow, steady climb toward something that almost smells like early spring. Don't get too excited. This is Missouri. But enjoy it while it lasts. One more thing worth knowing. Sunrise hit at 6:32 this morning. Sunset at 5:20. We're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every day now. Air quality sits moderate, so sensitive groups might want to take it easy outside. Alright. If you're enjoying these morning updates, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Missouri Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 16th. Folks, Missouri is handing out different weather depending on your zip code today. Southwest Missouri grabbed the winning ticket. You're waking up to 48 degrees down there. That's practically spring whispering in your ear. North winds running 6 to 10 miles an hour keep things comfortable, and tomorrow flirts with 50 again. Now head northwest and the thermometer drops. You're sitting at 40 degrees with a northwest breeze at 8 miles an hour. Here's the thing. That wind has teeth this morning. Tonight dips further, but tomorrow starts a slow crawl back toward the mid 40s. Over in eastern Missouri, you've got the middle ground. 44 degrees with gentle west winds at 7 miles an hour. Clear skies tonight. Tomorrow pushes the upper 40s. Quiet and seasonable. The kind of day that just lets you breathe. Quick note on air quality. It's moderate today, sitting around 60 on the index. Sensitive groups, you'll want to take it easy outside. And here's a bright spot. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Sunrise at 6:33, sunset at 5:18. Winter is losing its grip. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Dry and steady wins the race. No rain. No snow. Just a gentle warm up that nudges most of the state into the 50s by Sunday. Perfect weekend for getting outside. Early next week stays mild with more of the same. If you've got outdoor plans, the weather is basically rolling out the red carpet. So. If this forecast helped you plan your Friday, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
