First Alarm Weather Days Tuesday and Wednesday to Snow Next Week: None of these Waves of Snow Is Like the Heavy Snow From the Beginning of January. Generally, the first wave is pretty light, where the 2nd wave is more widespread and slightly heavier. Here are the details …

Wave # 1 Seems to move Monday night. Keep an eye on travel impacts during commuting on Tuesday morning. If the timing changes and we see signals of snow arriving earlier, it is possible Monday night can be a first alarm day as well. This first wave seems to bring light snow, with some areas that may be missing snow bands completely. A moderate bond of snow is possible, but there is uncertainty about where it will create. Latest trends show the moderate snow bands south, with smaller amounts to the north. For this first round, St. Louis see about half an inch, while areas south have a 30-50% chance to see over 1 ″ snow. The risk of seeing over 3 ″ in areas South is 20%. We are still a way out, and any change north will push the slightly higher totals into the subway. A shift south would lower the chances of totals. Keep an eye on changes.

Wave No. 2 Arriving Wednesday in the middle of the morning through the evening and meals early Thursday morning. At this point we can expect major changes in timing, location and quantities, so it is too early to determine the details. However, the general trend shows a wider and more widespread snow that looks a little heavier than Wave #1. The latest blend of models sets the chances of over 1 ″ in St. Louis at 60-70%, and the chances of over 3 ″ at 30-40%. Another factor that makes the expected difficult is the potential of a winter blend (mainly in the form of gossip). More sleet will mean less snow for some, while lower gossip hotels will increase sneak cumulations. Where this transition zone sets out is critical. Currently, the transition zone seems to be just barely south of the subway. We are still a long way out so the zone can change! Travel impacts are possible Wednesday and we may even have some difficult travel on Thursday morning. Come back with us as we work to seam the details and help you plan around the snow when we get better data every day.

The picture above shows the probability of snow in both rounds in St. Louis. Totals vary from place to place. This evening we release our first forecast snowfall cards for the whole area.
