Some Afternoon Snow

A quick clipper system is going to work through the state today, allowing for some fairly quick accumulation of snow. Portions of the state, approximately the northeastern half, has been put under a snow advisory as 3-6 inches of snow is likely for that area. The heaviest of which should be over the northeast quarter of the state, where 4-6 inches is in the going forecast. Areas outside of the Snow Advisory should expect to see 1-3 inches tapering off to only an inch or less in southwest Iowa. Travel may become hazardous with any moderate to heavy snow showers that may occur, so please keep an eye on the road conditions.

Besides some snowfall, temperatures expected to remain quite chilly with highs today only in the upper single digits to teens over the state. Tonights' lows should be just below or just above the zero degree mark. A warm-up through Wednesday as we near highs in the mid 20s to mid 30s before another system moves into the state for Thursday and Thursday night.
