The National Weather Service in Saint Louis has issued a special weather statement for the holiday week with a potentially significant winter storm for some areas of the bi-state region late tonight and Wednesday including our listening area. A new storm system is taking shape over Texas and is expected to track northeastward into Northern Indiana by nightfall Wednesday. Precipitation from this system will move into parts of our region by this afternoon and evening and will strengthen and expand overnight and Wednesday morning with the precipitation, then pulling out tomorrow afternoon. As it looks now, the most persistent precipitation will be over southeast Missouri, the Saint Louis metro area and southwest Illinois. For most locations, the impacts of this snow are expected to be minimal to roads due to temperatures just above freezing and warm ground. But, if the very narrow band of heavy snow materializes, snow or slush covered roads will likely result. Those with holiday travel plans on Wednesday should closely monitor developments with this storm and be aware of the potential for hazardous driving conditions for some locations.
