Cold blast settles over Bi-state region

Gusty winds drive down wind chills to single digits overnight.

ST. LOUIS — Howling winds overnight Saturday into Sunday brought a blast of arctic air into the Bi-state region. Despite plenty of sunshine Sunday afternoon, temperatures struggled to get much above 20° in many locations. Wind chills throughout the day have been mainly in the single digits. Even though the gusty winds will ease a bit during the evening and overnight, wind chills are expected to be near zero in many places. A few clouds are expected overnight and even a few flurries are possible.

By early Monday morning, temperatures will be in the single digits to lower teens and wind chills in some cases a little below zero, mainly north of the metro area.
