Thursday's Potential Snowstorm & A Recap of Yesterday's 'Clipper' Snowfalls

Beginning Thursday morning we should have our next storm system moving into the state, the NWS has begun to issue their Snow Advisories for this storm. To read the latest text for these advisories, please check out the NWS Snow Advisories. This storm is expected to be fairly quick, beginning in western Iowa by the early morning hours on Thursday, but should be out of the state by Midnight that night. Lingering flurries or scattered snow showers may be possible later than that, however nothing significant expected. Updated forecast and status on advisories, etc. will be posted tonight...

Yesterday's quick moving system put down some decent amounts of snow across northeast Iowa, allowed scattered snow showers and rain showers, along with a mix of all precip in between snow & rain across portion of the state. No significant reports of accidents or power outages in Iowa, just north into MN or WI there were however reports of several accidents on I90 and other areas near the Twin Cities. Co-op reports from around the state put the snow northeast of a line from Webster City to Davenport. Highest amounts as noted were in the far northeast corner of the state where several 5 and 6 inch reports came in from observers. This puts snowfall depths in that part of the state nearing double digits, with Waukee actually in double digits with 10 inches of snow on the ground. The current swatch of snowfall actually on the ground comes from near Sioux City, to Carrol and through Boone continuing to the east to Davenport; a majority of locations north of that line currently have snow on the ground.
