St. Louis Daily Local Headlines: Winter advisory, snow timing, and the weekend’s big threads

Winter weather advisory: a slick Monday commute is the main concern

A winter weather advisory is in effect for the St. Louis region Sunday evening through early Monday, with wet snow expected and the potential for a narrow band of heavier totals. Even modest accumulation can create trouble on bridges, overpasses, and untreated side streets—especially as temperatures dip overnight.

If you have an early Monday drive, plan for slower travel and keep extra stopping distance. If you can, do your errands before evening precipitation ramps up.

Snow/rain mix: what to watch later today

Forecast guidance continues to point to rain arriving first, then mixing with snow and potentially changing to mostly snow late Sunday into Monday morning. The bigger question is whether temperatures cool quickly enough for meaningful accumulation on paved surfaces, or if most sticks to grassy areas and elevated spots.

Bottom line: expect changing conditions over a short window, with patchy slick spots most likely overnight.

Severe Weather Awareness Week begins March 2

As the region shifts toward spring, Missouri’s Severe Weather Awareness Week runs March 2–6. A statewide tornado drill is planned for Wednesday, March 4, a good excuse to refresh your household’s plan and double-check where alerts will reach you (phone settings, weather radio, workplace/school procedures).

Weekend quick hits
