St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic and Public Works Public Information Manager David Wrone told KSDK-TV while a specific, scheduled date for retesting has not been announced, the tests will not be conducted on Saturday or Sunday.
Retesting of sirens originally scheduled for last week was cancelled due to poor weather conditions.
Tests are part of St. Louis County's Emergency Communications Network's honing of a new 187-siren tornado warning system, which started Labor Day.
