The National Weather Service in St. Louis projects areas south of I-44 in Missouri and I-70 in Illinois may see a mix of light rain, snow, and freezing rain at the onset of precipitation Monday afternoon, creating a very light glaze of ice followed by the snow.
Snow accumulations will be around an inch, with higher totals to the southwest along the I-44 corridor, the NWS said. If snow occurs, it should be out by Monday night and skies are projected to be clear, but cold Tuesday.
