Although the St. Louis region has seen a mild winter season so far, there has been growing attention towards the weekend forecast for a potential of snow.

The European long-range forecast model depicts more of a northerly track to the storm. Its American counterpart is hedging the track south. And, as the tracks suggest, the European model is much more bullish on snow, with an estimated 12+ inches for much of the tri-state. The American model remains more modest, at 3-5 inches.
