Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 03:26:03 GMT

ST. LOUIS - This summer’s heat has come in short bursts, interrupted only by shots of relatively cool air by summer standards.And remember, an official heat wave is made up of three or more consecutive days with temperatures greater than 90°. So far in 2023, we have seen 41 days over 90°.But because we’ve had so many cold fronts this summer, that only breaks down into six relatively short heat waves – the longest of which was seven days, back in late July. That mark may be challenged in the next week to 10 days, as the long-range weather charts are all solidly pointing to what could the longest stretch of the hottest temperatures we’ve seen all season long. St. Louis radar: See a map of current weather here The reason? The jet stream! We have been cooled by a northwest flow the past several days, but the heat that has backed Texas all summer is going to expand rapidly north and east this weekend as the jet stream retreats north into Canada.Unlike previous patterns, this one looks...

Cardinals calling up star prospect Masyn Winn

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 03:26:03 GMT

ST. LOUIS - One of the most anticipated moments of the 2023 St. Louis Cardinals season has finally arrived: Star prospect Masyn Winn is getting called up to the big leagues. Winn will be recalled ahead of Friday's game against the New York Mets and wear No. 0, according to a tweet late Thursday from the Cardinals. A shortstop by trait, Winn earns his MLB call at the age of 21 and is widely regarded as the top prospect in the Cardinals farm system. His 125 hits are among the Top 10 for anyone at one specific minor league level this season. Many mysteries around next year’s Cardinals rotation; Mo wants to add ‘three starters’ Winn has not only climbed the ranks of the Cardinals farm system through his hitting, but flashy speed, stout defense and rocket arm. He clocked 100 mph with a throw to first base in last year's All Star Futures Game, one of the fastest tracked infield throws ever through MLB Statcast. He has spent the entire 2023 season at Triple-A Memphis working to polish a...
