STORM ALERT | 1-5 inches of snow dumped on St. Louis area

Another system could threaten weekend plans.

5 On Your Side is in Storm Alert as the St. Louis area prepares for two rounds of snow Friday and Saturday. We’re also expecting another winter storm early next week.

FRIDAY:

Snow continues on schedule with now 1 inch to 2 inches expected for the metro area, but perhaps as much as 5 or 6 inches further to the south of the metro in a heavier band.

The snow should clear out late tonight, but the cold will be sticking around. 

Another system may give us a little snow and perhaps a mix overnight Saturday/early Sunday. Less than half and inch of snow but if there is any ice with this, that complicates things.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY:

Saturday starts off dry but cold with temperatures near 20. Highs will climb in the mid-30s with sunshine.

Saturday night clouds return, and so does the wintry weather.

Precipitation arrives after midnight, with spotty freezing drizzle possible across the bi-state. Snow showers will be concentrated mostly north of I-70, with a dusting to 2 inches possible. The higher end amounts will be in our far northern counties across northern Missouri and west-central Illinois. 

Snow showers will wrap up by Sunday evening.

NEXT WEEK:

After a quiet Monday, a wintry mix will be possible late Tuesday night into Wednesday, with the biggest impacts across Illinois.

By next Friday, we start a gradual climb towards spring, with upper 40s for highs.
