It feels like it’s below zero in northern MO and single digits everywhere else. Today will be the last day of these temperatures below normal though. The main concern is the elevated fire danger Friday and Saturday which is due to gusty winds, low relative humidity and dry fuels. Therefore, outdoor burning is discouraged during this time. Here’s the 7-day forecast from the National Weather Service:
