ST. LOUIS — A winter weather system is set to move through the St. Louis area from Thursday night into Friday morning, Jan. 10, 2025, bringing light snow to southern Missouri and the Interstate 44 corridor. The Metro East area should also see some snowfall. Melissa Delia, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in St. Louis, reported that snowfall amounts are expected to range from a dusting in areas south of the I-44 corridor to up to 4 inches in far southeastern Missouri. The National Weather Service said it would have more information on Wednesday afternoon about the potential snow totals with this next front. Delia emphasized that the upcoming weather event will not mirror the significant snow, ice, and sleet accumulation seen in recent days. "While snow is expected, amounts won’t be anywhere near what we saw over the weekend," she said. The forecast indicates that Metro areas may receive a dusting of up to 2 inches of snow, but there remains some uncertainty
