Mostly sunny and dry today with highs in the 40s, then increasing clouds and mild tonight with lows in the 30s.
A mild and wet pattern will be in place across the region through the holiday week. Two periods of higher rain chances are emerging: Tuesday through Christmas morning and Thursday into Friday. Before Tuesday afternoon, the highest chances will be mainly south of I-70.
Here are the climate records for Christmas Day at St. Louis, Columbia, and Quincy.
The end of 2024 is quickly approaching so we thought we take a quick look back. Temperatures have been VERY warm this year in St. Louis. In fact, through 12/20, this year is second warmest only to 2012. With warmth forecast next week, 2024 could threaten 2012 for the crown of record warmest year (records date back to 1874).
