St. Louis forecast: Another freeze this morning, then milder 60s this afternoon, also gusty

After starting cold early Tuesday, temperatures jump into the 60s Tuesday afternoon. Very little rain chance exists for the rest of the work week.

ST. LOUIS — Another hard freeze this morning. Lows drop into the mid and upper 20s with a few places perhaps close to 20 degrees early Tuesday. A much warmer wind this afternoon along with sunshine will push temperatures back into the 60s, perhaps close to 70 in a few places.. 

The spring equinox is Tuesday at 10:06 PM. It remains near average for the remainder of the week, as we see slim chances for light rain mainly early Friday. Otherwise, things should be relatively dry over the next few days and pretty close to normal to close out the month. The better chance for rain comes later Sunday into Monday and Monday night. 

Hold off on planting anything too sensitive to cold weather. Despite the warmer soil temperatures, we will see a colder finish to the month. That means the potential of at least a handful more of temperatures below freezing in the morning.
