This public safety message is provided by the Emergency Services Disaster Agency of the City of East St. Louis Illinois.
After a blast of snow Sunday morning, temperatures plunged. Overnight lows were expected to be in the single digits as an arctic air mass moves into the central U.S., with blustery weather taking wind chills down to minus 10 or lower in the St. Louis area. Those wind chills were expected to stay below zero through late Monday morning.
At 6 a.m. Monday, the temperature was 3 degrees. With the wind chill factored in, it felt like minus 12.
Very cold weather was expected through Monday night, and the National Weather Service expects temperatures to remain below freezing through Tuesday, reaching into the upper 30s by Wednesday.
Thursday morning should see another weather system, possibly bringing some snow, but it will mostly be rain.
More harsh weather is on tap for Saturday. The St. Louis and Metro-East area is currently expected to be on the southern side of a large system that will pass through the area. We may not see snow, but we could possibly be in for thunderstorms.
