It will meet up and merge with a cold front bringing cold Canadian air back to the Midwest.St. Louis wakes up to clouds Saturday morning and rain pushes in by the afternoon.
The cold front moves through the St. Louis area Saturday afternoon. After highs in the low 50s early in the afternoon, temperatures will begin to fall. Rain will begin to mix with wet, sloppy snowflakes Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Any significant snow accumulations will stay over central and northeast Missouri as well as west central Illinois. There is the chance of 1-3 of snow as close as Columbia, MO.
Windy conditions and a cold rain will make Sunday a raw day. The storm system finally moves off to the east Sunday night into Monday morning, but a few snowflakes could linger into early Monday morning.
