Light Snow...

Light snow has continued to fall over much of the state this afternoon and into this evening. Here in Ames we began to have a sleet/snow mixture this afternoon, which turned into moderate snowfall through the mid-evening hours. The only places snowfall was sticking to here in Ames seemed to be cars and other very cold surfaces. Other parts of the state have also reported light to moderate snow through the evening, the only accumulations have been limited to northwest Iowa. Sioux Center had a co-op report of ~1 inch, and Sioux City reported a trace or dusting of snow. Expect some light to moderate snow to continue over some parts of the state, however, no accumulation is likely.

Lows tonight from the mid 20s in the northwest, to the lower 30s in the southeast. Highs tomorrow from near 40 in the northwest, to the mid 50s in the southeast; partly cloudy skies and westerly winds nearing 20 mph will likely lead to a chilly feeling through the day. Wednesday night lows from the 20s in the northwest to the 30s in the southeast. We'll see clearing skies for Thursday, with high temperatures in the 40s throughout the state. Thursday night lows in the mid 20s to near 30 from northwest to southeast...

Our next storm system will begin moving into the state on Friday, bringing in a rain/snow mixture for parts of the state. With the low pressure system once again forecasted to come across the state, some parts may see the risk of thunderstorms while some are seeing the chance of snow. More details on this potential storm system later...
