Another Quick Snowfall

A couple of weak waves of energy are going to work through the state tonight and tomorrow as well as Thursday into Thursday night. Both of these waves will filter in colder air as well as give us a chance at snow. Lows tonight will range from the teens to mid 20s with snow falling throughout the northwest quarter of the state. The snow will continue to make its' way over the state during the day tomorrow, highs ranging from the mid 20s to mid 30s from northwest to southeast. The snow should end in all but extreme eastern Iowa by nightfall, with only flurries left in the east. Total snowfall amounts should only be in the 1-3 inch range with most areas being under 2 inches.

Wednesday night will show off the cold air that filtered in with that system, as lows are expected to be in the teens and a few single digits. Thursday highs will range from the lower 20s to lower 30s with some potential flurries across the state. Thursday lows will represent the second shot of cold air, dropping lows even further than the night before. The single digits below zero and above zero are expected over all but extreme southern Iowa where the lower to mid teens will exist with cloud cover lingering. Some flurries may continue in the southeast overnight, however snow totals across the entire state should be around or under an inch.

Expect the temperatures to be below average up until the weekend, when we can finally start to warm up to above average temperatures and once again likely melt off the snowfall from the past week. More information on how high temperatures may get over the weekend and into next week will be available in later updates!
