A bit of snow...

Some light rain and snow showers are moving across the state this morning and should continue to do so this afternoon. Overnight tonight we should see it turn over to an all snow event with some accumulations possible, especially over eastern Iowa. These scattered showers will taper off on Sunday, but not before another dusting or more can accumulate on the cold surfaces. As mentioned, accumulations are likely over the state mainly tonight, with only a dusting to a half inch of most of the western half of the state. Once along and east of I-35 you can expect an inch to nearly 2 inches of accumulation into Sunday morning. You can check out the latest Weather Story from the Des Moines NWS to see a graphical depiction of the snowfall expectations.

Temperatures this Saturday afternoon should be in the mid 30s to lower 40s, with cloud cover and isolated rain/snow showers possible. Lows tonight in the mid 20s to near 30 from northwest to southeast across the state. Snow showers possible in western Iowa with light accumulation; snow likely across central and eastern Iowa with accumulations of 1-2 inches. Highs on Sunday in the mid 30s across the entire state, with flurries possible across western and central Iowa; snow continuing over the eastern third of the state with up to an inch of additional accumulation. Sunday night lows in the upper teens to lower 20s from north to south, snow flurries ending across the eastern third of the state.

Highs should begin to rebound for Monday/Tuesday before the next system clips the state and brings a small chance of precipitation Tuesday night into Wednesday. This system will also bring down the cooler air once again over the state. Details on the first week of December in the next update!
