Missouri – Snow dusts car tops and sidewalks across St. Louis this morning as a weak but steady winter system moves through eastern Missouri. Roads shine with a thin glaze of slush, and visibility briefly drops in pockets of heavier snow. Drivers should use caution, especially on I-70, I-64, and I-55, where freezing spots may linger through mid-morning.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, light to moderate snow will taper off by early morning, but 1 to 2 inches of accumulation is expected for most locations. Temperatures hover in the low 20s, with wind chills near 11°F, creating ideal conditions for slick bridges and untreated surfaces.
Through midweek, skies clear and sunshine returns, though highs only reach the upper 30s by Wednesday. A brief warming trend Thursday could lift temperatures into the low 40s, before another shot of Arctic air brings a chance of flurries Friday and bitter cold nights heading into the weekend.
Plan ahead for slower commutes this morning and keep winter gear in your vehicle. Even minor snowfall can cause flash freezing when daytime melt refreezes after sunset — a common early-December hazard.
After all, it’s the Midwest — and winter’s grip tightens fast once it takes hold.
