A light messy mix of rain and snow Saturday night

Published

The winter weather system that will affect the region this weekend is rather weak, poorly organized, has limited moisture and is working with only marginally cold air.  Late Friday night, this rather small storm system was spinning east out of Colorado into Kansas.  As it spreads east it will get sheared apart even more… further weakening the storm.

Ahead of this system, look for increasing clouds Saturday… but the daylight hours look to be dry with temperatures warming into the 40s through 4pm.

After 4pm… light rain will spread east across the region with that rain mixing with light wet snow after 8pm with the snow becoming more prominent between 10pm and midnight as colder air works in through the clouds above.  Down at ground level, temperatures will drop into the mid 30s… just cold enough for wet snow to survive to the ground and start to accumulate on grassy surfaces.

This will be a fairly quick hit of wet sloppy snow with the precipitation transitioning to flurries and drizzle by 4am Sunday morning.

I still don’t see much accumulation with this system… maybe a slushy dusting on grassy surfaces for most of our viewers.  The one exception will be in a narrow band from near Fredericktown in Missouri northeast to near Flora in Illinois.  Slightly heavier snowfall rates there may allow for a few grassy locations to accumulate up to 1-2 inches… but even here… roads look to be mainly just wet.

Expected accumulations Saturday night

Beyond this storm system, all eyes are the system scheduled for Tuesday night and Wednesday. The usual questions still exist this far in advance… about timing, strength, track and temperature profiles. But safe to say, some “shovelable” snow is possible with that storm.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.

Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.

According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.

Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.

Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

Gas tanker crashes into St. Louis Metro transit center

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.

The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.

Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial

Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.

A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.

The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
