The St. Louis area is expecting more snow later this week
A winter weather system moving through the Gulf States will bring light snow to parts of Missouri and Illinois on Friday, though the system is expected to have minimal impact compared to recent storms.
ST. LOUIS - A winter weather system moving through the Gulf States will bring light snow to parts of Missouri and Illinois on Friday, though forecasters expect minimal impact compared to recent storms.
The National Weather Service in St. Louis reports the snow should start Thursday evening. While accumulation is possible, meteorologists believe the system's southern trajectory will result in lighter snowfall amounts than previous winter storms this season. This is always a tricky pattern when a low comes from that direction, so we will watch it carefully.
The incoming snow arrives amid an Arctic air mass that has kept local temperatures in the 20s, with wind chills between 14 and 20 degrees.
In the meantime, cold is the word for the next few days, as that Arctic air continues to spill in from the north. Highs will remain below normal. We are entering the coldest time of the year here in St. Louis, with normal or average highs in the upper 30s.
While we are cold for the coming days, we are nowhere near records.
