Winter Weather - Feb. 13/14

Snow ongoing over parts of northern Iowa, western Minnesota and the eastern Dakotas with some heavy snow reports even coming in at times. A few reports that have came in already include 4" in Sioux Falls, SD and 2.5" in Rock Rapids, IA. This snow will continue to expand through the overnight, and slowly make its' way southward as a surface low forms in association with the upper level low that has made its' way into the eastern Dakotas. No major changes in forecasted snow totals with a band of 3-5" and isolated 6" amounts still seeming likely from western/central Iowa south/southeast through central and eastern Missouri. The latest Kansas City NWS graphic shows a pretty good depiction of forecasted snow totals.



Beyond the snowfall, expect northwest winds to increase during the overnight and Sunday for the area. Leading to blowing and drifting snow and hazardous driving conditions for your Valentines' Day. Cold and breezy conditions will continue through Monday before we see the sun again and a slight warm-up through midweek.
