St. Louis weather

Community members are bracing for the Meramec River to crest Friday.

Thirty-four Missouri residents — aged 11 months to 96 years — died due to heat-related illness in 2023, according to the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services.

The windchill could hit 10 to 15 degrees below zero Fahrenheit on Sunday and Monday. In those conditions, frostbite can occur in 30 minutes and hypothermia can set in quickly.

It was the warmest year on record globally, and St. Louisans also felt the heat.

Even when skies are clear, air pollution can affect the health of sensitive groups.

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

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

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

Two days after a record-breaking rainfall, another storm hit St. Louis, causing more flooding throughout the metro area.

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