TRACKING: More snow this weekend

Tonight:  Clouds slowly increase, and this will prevent the temperatures from getting as cold as they were Thursday morning. Lows tonight drop into the single digits above zero. The wind is light from the southeast.

Friday: We end the work week with a mostly cloudy sky and temperatures reaching the upper 20s, near normal for this time of year. The wind increases ahead of the weekend storm. Winds are from the southeast at 10-20 mph.

Friday Night: Not much change. The sky remains mostly cloudy with a breezy southeast wind. Temperatures drop a few degrees into the low 20s.

Saturday: The morning hours will be dry. Any time after noon the precipitation will begin. Northern counties will have all snow. Southern counties, maybe south Cedar Rapids, will have a rain/snow mix initially then change to snow during the evening. Roads will become slick during the evening. It is windy with gusts from the east around 30 or 35 mph. High temperatures warm into the low 30s.

Saturday Night: Snow continues through the night. This is when most of the accumulations will occur. Temperatures are in the upper 20s and the wind starts to shift to the north as the low moves east. Breezy conditions will cause blowing snow and reduced visibilities.

Sunday: Snow is light in the morning and tapers off by noon. Snow totals will range from 2-7” across eastern Iowa. This snow will be a bit heavier. More of a wet snow and harder to shovel. High temperatures are near 30 with a breezy northwest wind.
