ST. LOUIS — A cold front moved through overnight, with cooler temperatures now starting to take control. A second front with even colder air arrives Friday at the same time as a new storm system, setting us up for a return to winter weather.
The Friday storm continues to come into better focus as we get closer in time. Precipitation will start as rain and sleet, then transition to sleet and snow and then all snow. Accumulating snow is expected.

How much snow will we get?
The snow will be fighting warm ground again, but fall rates should be sufficient to at least partially overcome that. Most of the accumulation will be on the grass, but some slush may build up on roads during the heaviest bursts of snow from mid-morning through early afternoon. Totals will range from 2-4 inches just north of I-70 across the northern metro and northern half of the St. Louis area. Further south, a stripe of 1-2 inches with a spot of 3 inches is possible south of I-70 and across southern portions of the St. Louis region.
