ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis region is gearing up for yet another snowstorm expected Tuesday morning through early Wednesday. Areas southwest of St. Louis are expecting up to possibly 12 inches of snow by Tuesday night.

The region can expect light snow flurries throughout Monday as another system works it’s way into the area Tuesday and Tuesday night. Heavy snow is expected to hit south of Interstate 70 while north of I-70, dryer air may push the snow to the south.

The St. Louis metro is expecting between three and six inches of snow, while north of St. Louis will see anywhere between one and three inches.

Between Monday and Wednesday, the highest snowfall totals are expected south of Owensville, Missouri, to Festus, Missouri, where 8 to 12 inches are possible.
