A MIXTURE OF PRECIPITATION WAS SEEN ACROSS THE STATE THIS MORNING WITH MOST FALLING AS RAIN. SNOW AND SLEET WERE ALSO REPORTED ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHWESTERN IOWA. WINDS ARE MAINLY FROM THE NORTHEAST AT 10 TO 20 MPH ACROSS THE STATE WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI. LOW TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 40S ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE STATE...AND IN THE 30S IN THE NORTHWEST.
THE WARM FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO IOWA OVERNIGHT AS RAIN AND SNOW REMAIN IN THE FORECAST. SNOW AMOUNTS OF UP TO 5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE DAKOTAS...MINNESOTA AND NORTHWEST IOWA WHILE THE REST OF THE AREA WILL MAINLY HAVE RAIN AND LIKELY MXING BRIEFLY WITH SNOW OVERNITE. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD MOVE OUT BY LATER SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 30S AND 40S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS DIPPING INTO THE 20S.
MORE CHANCES OF RAIN AND/OR SNOW ARE EXPECTED AROUND MID WEEK AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE FAIRLY STRONG AND A FINE LINE BETWEEN RAIN/SNOW WILL EXIST NORTH OF THE I-80 CORRIDOR. EXPECT HEAVY SNOW ALONG THE IOWA/MN BORDER WED OR THURSDAY. THIS ONE IS WORTH WATCHING!
