Freezing

The first warning was met with laughter and some disbelief, but now there's another that again says that temperatures in Illinois are about to take a deep dive and you won't have to wait long to experience it.

The National Weather Service is now warning that a dangerous cold is coming soon to Missouri and you won't be waiting long before you experience it.

After a weekend of blazing hot temperatures, a big change is coming to Missouri in just days.

The question of when freezing temperatures will happen in Illinois depends heavily on where you live within the state.

The day of the first hard freeze is a serious thing for many in Missouri who have plants that are not built for cold temperatures. According to history, you can expect below freezing temperatures sooner rather than later.

If the GFS model is correct, freezing temperatures in Missouri could arrive before the middle of October.

Would you agree that it's gotten warmer earlier than it normally does in Missouri? Does that mean we've seen our last freeze for the season? According to history, don't put your tomato plants out just yet.

My family heard them several times Saturday night at our house in Missouri and maybe you did, too. Did you hear mysterious booms and wonder if we were either having an earthquake or about to? It was actually something completely different.

You can already feel a slight chill in the air. When will that little bit of coldness become actual freezing temperatures in Missouri? Based on recent history, sooner than you think.
