This past Monday/Tuesday's weather system didn't create too much havoc across the state, with only minor accumulations of snowfall or ice. Rain was much more common throughout the length of that storm system, with most places receiving a few hundredths of an inch of rain through Tuesday morning. Between systems now, with strong northerly winds yesterday and just slightly lighter winds today and temperatures that have been well below freezing and wind chills once again back below zero.
The next storm system to come across the state should do so on Friday and Friday night, and linger into early Saturday for parts of eastern Iowa. This clipper will bring in chances of mixed precipitation across the southern third of the state, but mainly snow for the state of Iowa. Total snowfall accumulations are in limbo currently, although models have seem to come to an agreement of a 3-6" band of snow that is most likely across the northeast quarter of Iowa. Other parts of the northeast half of the state could see 1-3" through the overnight on Friday, while parts of the state only see a dusting when they awake on Saturday.
A busy week and weekend ahead, next weather update likely early next week...
