Winter storm watch starting very early Tuesday
Arctic air spills into the region Monday. Temperatures will likely fall into the single digits for lows and teens for highs next week, with snow Tuesday. In many cases, outlying areas are expected to see overnight and early morning temperatures fall to near zero or just below zero. The potential for significant travel impacts is increasing due to the bitterly cold air and accumulating snow.
ST. LOUIS — The arctic air is poised to return to the region during the day Sunday. We have issued a Weather Impact Alert for frigid temperatures from Tuesday through Thursday. In many cases, outlying areas are expected to see overnight and early morning temperatures fall to near zero or just below zero.
The frigid air will remain in place through Thursday, with overnight lows dropping to near zero north of Interstate 70 Wednesday and Thursday morning.
In addition to the bitter cold, a storm system will be sliding across the region later Monday night into Tuesday. This is likely to bring dry snow to much of the area.
The potential for significant travel impacts is increasing due to the bitterly cold air and accumulating snow, especially by Tuesday morning.
The snow chance ends on Wednesday, but the cold lingers.
There are things you can do to prepare for the cold. If the pipes to your faucets are on an outside wall, letting the water slowly drip through the night can prevent the water from freezing inside the pipe. Opening cabinet doors under sinks allows heat to filter into the cabinet around the pipes.
Pets need shelter during the bitter cold as well. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, pets that are left outdoors can freeze, become disoriented, lost, stolen, injured or killed. The ASPCA also advises keeping your dog on a leash when in snow or ice because they can lose their scent in the snow and easily become lost.

Icy roads, sun glare lead to crashes in parts of New Hampshire
Two multi-vehicle crashes within a couple of miles of each other on Interstate 89 south brought traffic to a halt. On Varney Street in Manchester, one driver said he lost control while going around a corner. Police said solar glare might have been a factor, in addition to the slippery roads. With more snow in the forecast, state police are urging drivers to take caution. “You have to slow down, because it’s going to be slippery out there no matter what,” said Staff Sgt. Gregg DeLuca. “Whether it is rain, whether it’s snow … you have to take precaution,” he said. “It seemed like the roadways were slippery this morning,” he added. “Icy conditions on roads across the state Friday morning caused several crashes that left commuters at a standstill. The first crash involved six vehicles just after 7 a.m. between exits 2 and 3 on I-89 south. The second crash involved three vehicles, including a tractor-trailer, in a location with a hill and a slight bend in the road.
