A Winter Storm Watch is in effect mainly north of I-70, but everywhere is expected to see accumulating snow. Though the storm is expected to last late Friday night into Saturday night, the heaviest snow is expected Saturday morning. Travel impacts are expected.

In addition to the snow and rain in the forecast on Saturday, cold weather pours into the region for the start of next week. Most of us will see 2 or 3 days where the temperature doesn't warm above freezing. A cold start to winter! There could even be some flurries or light snow.

Build a quick winter car kit. Pack warm layers, an ice scraper, water, snacks, a flashlight, chargers, and traction material like sand or cat litter. A few essentials can make a big difference if conditions worsen while you’re traveling. Be prepared. Be #WashUReady. #mowx #washu

Another quick winter system will bring snow to portions of the Midwest Saturday. While exactly where the highest totals will occur is uncertain, impacts are expected wherever snow falls due to cold temperatures. Stay informed before you travel!

Update at 1:30 p.m. We're seeing patches of freezing drizzle in areas around the region. Although crews are out treating, melting ice can create slick spots. Please use caution as you travel, drive slowly and give our crews space on the road.

Cold temperatures through MON morning will quickly warm to near & above average through much of the week. A cold front will pass sometime THU, bringing a chance of showers, gusty winds, and a brief shot of colder temperatures. #stlwx #mowx #ilwx
