The National Weather Service predicts steady snowfall beginning at midnight with up to 8 inches on the ground in parts of metro St. Louis.

Most roads were passable Friday following Thursday’s snowstorm, but brutally cold winds kept blowing. Thursday night had the ninth-lowest windchill ever recorded in St. Louis.

The most hazardous conditions, including extreme cold and blizzard conditions, are behind the initial front.

Road crews are preparing for a blizzard Thursday expected to bring bitter cold and deadly wind chills just as Christmas travel begins.

A major snowstorm is coming to the Midwest and Great Plains during some of the busiest days for travel this year. Here’s how to stay safe while driving, especially on rural roads.

Temperatures may drop to the mid-30s Friday night into Saturday morning.

The amount of rain that fell in six hours Tuesday surpassed the average amount of rain the region usually gets in July and August combined, according to meteorologists from the National Weather Service in St. Louis. Scientists say there’s evidence those types of downpours could become more common as a result of climate change.

Record rainfall St. Louis on Tuesday morning caused severe flash flooding that quickly turned dangerous for residents in low-lying areas. Many people needed first responders to help them leave their flooded homes, and at least one person died.

The historic rainfall broke the single-day record set in 1915.

Some areas of the St. Louis region could end up with 10 inches of snow.
