Snow, Ice and Gusty Winds

Tonight:  In advance of the weekend storm the sky becomes cloudy and the wind will increase from the southeast. Some gusts could be near 30 mph. Low temperatures drop into the low and mid-20s.

Saturday: Wintry mix (rain/freezing/sleet/snow) moves into eastern Iowa late in the morning. The best chance of snow is north with the best chance of rain in the south. Everyone between will have sleet and freezing rain. Ice accumulation could be up to 0.10” During the evening all of the precipitation will turn to snow. Highs are in the low 30s with a gusty east wind to 35 mph. Where it is snowing, blowing snow will reduce visibilities. Roads will be slippery once the precipitation begins and through Sunday morning.

Saturday Night: Snow continues through the night and it remains windy. Blowing and drifting snow is expected with winds gusting from the northeast at 35 mph. Low temperatures in the upper 20s.

Sunday: Light snow in the morning tapers off by midday. Highs warm to near 30. The wind is a little lighter but still breezy so blowing snow will be an issue…mainly in the morning.

Monday: Partly cloudy with a light wind and highs near 30.
