* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will 
  likely become slick and hazardous. Plan on slippery road 
  conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Thursday 
  morning and evening commutes.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in 
your vehicle in case of an emergency. In Illinois, the latest road 
conditions can be obtained at www.gettingaroundillinois.com. In 
Missouri, the latest road conditions can be obtained at 
traveler.modot.org/map or by calling 1-888-275-6636.

Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely 
necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden 
changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the 
motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your 
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially 
cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is 
winterized and in good working order.

It only takes a small amount of sleet to make roads, bridges, 
sidewalks and parking lots icy and dangerous. Plan for a slow trip 
and use caution when approaching turns, bridges and overpasses. 
Remain alert for rapid changes in road conditions.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 22, 11:41 AM CST, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 627 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022

The bulk of the precipitation is exiting the forecast area, so the
timing of POP has been adjusted to reflect this. Another area of
showers and a few thunderstorms is possible as the front itself
moves through today. Temperatures behind the front have been
dropping about 15 degrees followed by a continued steady fall
thereafter. Parts of northern Missouri have fallen to near
freezing with showers and a few thunderstorms continuing behind
the very shallow surface front. Cannot rule out some areas of
freezing rain with this, although we expect that warm road
temperatures, especially with the sun coming out, will limit this
impact.

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 223 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022

Cold front its making its way southeast into our forecast area,
slowly for the moment, but it will speed up through the morning as
surface low pressure moves to the east. To the south of the front,
a moist air mass is leading to showers and thunderstorm
development. The most extensive activity will be associated with
the low level jet which is situated across our southern forecast
area. This is the area of greatest threat for flooding and severe
weather, however, thunderstorms are possible along the cold front
itself as well. Ahead of the front, temperatures will be in the
50s and 60s, but they will drop quickly into the 40s and 30s
behind the front, falling below freezing tonight.

.LONG TERM...  (Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 223 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022

Surface high pressure builds into the Upper Midwest on Wednesday
with the first wave of wintry precipitation arriving with a weak
wave Wednesday afternoon and evening. There's fairly good
agreement among the models that precipitation is likely to spread
about as far north as St. Louis on Wednesday evening, but with
amounts remaining very light. With cold air in place, this will
fall mostly as snow, with some sleet in the southern portion of
the forecast area where a narrow layer of warm air aloft exists.
Total snow/sleet amounts are likely to be around an inch or less
from this wave by Thursday morning. We expect a brief break in the
precipitation before the next round arrives, although some light
precipitation, flurries or perhaps freezing drizzle, could
continue.

The next wave moves out onto the plains on Thursday with broad
lift bringing a more widespread precipitation event. The warm
layer aloft will be a bit further north with this wave, with the
snow/sleet line coinciding roughly with the 850 0C line which
models are fairly consistent in bringing right up to the St. Louis
area, roughly along the I-44 (MO) and I-70 (IL) corridor. Further
to the south, the warm layer may be deep enough, and the surface
cold layer shallow enough, for freezing rain to be the dominant
precipitation type. However, model soundings even as far south as
Farmington still support a good chance for any melted drops to
refreeze into sleet. So while there is a chance for a significant
stretch of freezing rain especially the further south you go, for
the moment we still believe there will be a pretty wide corridor
where sleet predominates. The heaviest precipitation with this
wave will likely come Thursday afternoon and evening, with the
last of the precipitation exiting to the east by about midnight.

Model solutions seem to be coming into fairly good agreement on
the general idea of this period of wintry weather, with the
inverted temperature profiles south of St. Louis generally well
agreed upon. The biggest remaining uncertainty is on total
precipitation amounts. Latest blended guidance gives total liquid
equivalent precipitation amounts ranging from 0.2 inches in the
northwest to about 0.6 inches in the south, although there is
still a good deal of spread in this. At this time, light to
moderate accumulations of snow are likely, with sleet cutting into
the total accumulations from St. Louis southward.

High pressure builds through the region Friday and Saturday
bringing dry and cool conditions. Another wave tracking through
the southern US does try to bring more moisture in aloft late this
weekend, but it is likely to stay to our south. Another cold front
on Sunday brings a fresh round of Canadian Arctic air into our
area.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1140 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022

Cold front is in the process of moving through the St. Louis metro
area as of 17z. Otherwise, winds have veered to the northwest
behind the front and remain gusty. Also, MVFR/IFR ceilings
associated with the front will gradually lift and scatter out
from west to east by early this evening. Northwest to north winds
will diminish tonight.
