Another Winter Storm!!!

After this weekends' winter storm that gave parts of southeast Iowa a few inches of the white stuff, and saw nearly half of the state at least see some snow flurries; we'll up for another winter storm to scrape by the state. Tonight has a strong low developing and slowly moving eastward overnight, with snow to the north and west that will give parts of northwest Iowa anywhere from 1-3" of snow by the end of Tuesday. Other parts of the state will see some light to moderate rain, maybe even a few rumbles of thunder across the central portions of the state tonight. A dry slot will also wrap around the strong low and cut-off much of the precipitation for areas south of Highway 20.

This storm system is just one of many that may move through and affect parts of the state over the next week or so...

The low track over Iowa will spare the state from much of the precip, as the heaviest bands will fall both north and west of the state. Parts of the Dakotas and into Minnesota will be looking at approximately a foot of snow or more by the end of tomorrow. Extreme northwest Iowa has the best chance of accumulation snow, with 1-3" currently forecasted. Just across into parts of SD/MN will have the shot of 3-6" of snowfall, which show how tight of a gradient this storm has; much similar to this past weekends. Light snow and rain will likely move over the northern third of the state through tomorrow, while much of the state south of there will remain dry due to the large expanse of dry air that will wrap-up around the low.

Another update with any of northwest Iowa's snow accumulations and a look ahead at the remainder of the week tomorrow night.
