More Snow?!?

After Thursday night and Friday's snowfall across the state, we saw more snow flurries and some light freezing rain across the state over the weekend. Temperatures across the state were also representative of winter's arrival as the highs today ranged from the mid 20s to mid 30s across the state. With another storm system arriving for the early half of this week, we'll see the chance for another winter storm mix across the state. A quick forecast update for the first half of the state is below:

Tonight's low will range from the mid teens in northwest Iowa to the lower 20s across the rest of the state. Monday highs will range from the lower 30s to lower 40s from northwest to southeast as clouds begin to stream in from the south. Monday night will see temperatures range from the mid 20s in northeast Iowa to the lower 30s across the southwest half of the state. The warmer temperatures in the southeast will be due to the cloud cover and precipitation that is likely. A mix of rain and snow is possible throughout the nighttime hours, with the rain/snow mix continuing until Tuesday afternoon as it warms enough to make a majority a cold rain. The precip should move across to include nearly all but the extreme northeast part of the state by Tuesday afternoon. A mix of rain/snow continues in the forecast for Tuesday night, temperatures from the mid 20s to mid 30s from northwest to southeast. We'll finally clear out by Wednesday for the western half of the state, with highs increasing to the 40s across the entire state. More details on the precip type and any potential accumulations in later updates...
