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.
