Quick Clipper Snow

A quick update late this afternoon as I'm in between class and the men's basketball game tonight between Iowa State and Kansas. Which by the way you should watch on ESPN tonight, 6 PM CDT! We'll hope Hilton Magic can come up with something tonight, especially in a nationally televised game.

Either way, a quick clipper system should sweep over the state tomorrow and tomorrow night giving most areas an inch or two of snowfall. Currently the NWS has the best chances of the accumulating snow north of a line from Sioux City to roughly Ottumwa. Once you get northeast of Waterloo in northeast Iowa you should see the best chance of snow and likely 2 inches of snowfall in the afternoon hours. Some flurries may linger into the nighttime hours in the east, but no accumulations seem likely. This will give us a bit of cooler temperatures for the nighttime, but with skies clearing and the sun getting higher we'll see temperatures rebound nicely on Friday and continue into the weekend. Temperatures expected to be into the 40s and some 50s possible on Saturday and Sunday before the next storm system expected late Sunday and into Monday.
