Light winter mix developing late Saturday evening

Published

ST. LOUIS – A weak weather system is tracking across Missouri this evening, expected to bring a light winter mix to the St. Louis area into Sunday morning.

Rain is starting to mix with some wet snow between Columbia and Springfield as of 6:30 p.m. This band is moving steadily to the east and will begin to encounter slightly colder temperatures as it approaches St. Louis.  

This will lead to an expanding mix of rain and wet snow late this evening, with a trend towards mostly snow by midnight. 

Most of the area will see little, if any, accumulation tonight, just enough for a hint of white to show up in the grass in a few areas. 

The exception still appears to be in a band southeast of metro St. Louis from near Salem through Fredericktown in Missouri over to Mount Vernon and Flora in Illinois.  This is the band where there may be a few spots that see measurable accumulations up to one inch.

The timing for this evening, rain will move into metro St. Louis after 8 p.m., sooner west of town.  It will pretty quickly begin to mix with and then in some spots change over to wet snow between 10 p.m. and midnight. The snow and rain will be light and taper to flurries and drizzle after 4 a.m. Sunday morning, with nothing more than drizzle and flurries expected Sunday.

The air in northwest Missouri is somewhat colder and there has already been several inches of snow in/near St. Joseph.  We are not expect to see scenes like we are seeing on the MODOT cameras near St. Joseph repeat here, but we may still have just enough snow to get a slushy dusting on some grassy areas, car tops and other elevated surfaces overnight. 

A larger and more impactful winter storm could make way to the St. Louis area by Tuesday night or Wednesday.

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.
