More Snow!

The whole state doesn't have to worry about it, but portions of southern and eastern Iowa will definitely be on the lookout for some significant accumulations. A winter weather advisory is in effect for areas south of a Nebraska City to Des Moines to Dubuque, 2-5 inches of snowfall is likely in those areas. Areas just north of that line may see light snow with some accumulations of less than 2 inches. Some portions of south-central Iowa may see even higher amounts than the rest of the state, areas including Lamoni and the surrounding counties may see snowfall of up to 7 inches! These areas have been upgraded to a Heavy Snow Warning until mid-afternoon today, as snowfall rates may be several inches per hour.

The remainder of the state that won't have this snow to deal with will see a nice day, with the sun shining for most of northern Iowa. Temperatures across the state will range from the lower to mid 20s today. Lows tonight will range from the single digits to the mid teens over eastern Iowa where some cloud cover will still be present.

For the latest information on the advisories and warnings, including the texts see the Winter Weather Page from Des Moines NWS.
