St. Louis, MO – Snow is forecast to sweep through the St. Louis area on Saturday, potentially disrupting weekend travel plans. While most locations are expected to see light accumulation of less than an inch, a narrow band of heavier snow could bring totals of 2 to 4 inches.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), snowfall will likely begin Saturday morning and continue throughout the day, primarily impacting areas north of the Ozarks. The heaviest accumulation is expected in a localized swath, but the exact location remains uncertain. Travelers along I-70 and I-55 should be especially cautious as slick roads and bridges are anticipated.
Saturday’s high will hover near 34°F, with temperatures falling quickly by evening, increasing the risk of icy conditions. Winds will remain light, but reduced visibility during snowfall could pose additional challenges for drivers.
For those heading out on Black Friday or preparing for holiday activities this weekend, sunny weather is forecast Friday, with a high of 38°F. However, Friday night will see temperatures drop to 26°F, setting the stage for snow as moisture arrives Saturday morning.
