SOMEWHAT WARMER AIR WILL SPREAD INTO THE WEEKEND AS HIGH TEMPS REACH NEAR 30.
ALONG WITH THE WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL BE SOME LT SNOW BEGINNING FRIDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MONDAY. THATS NOT TO SAY WE'LL SEE CONTINUOUS SNOWS OVER THE WEEKEND. WE'LL SEE A SERIES OF WEAK SYSTEMS MOVING THRU THE AREA - TIMING OF EXACTLY WHEN THE SNOWS WILL OCCUR IS TUFF AT BEST - SO HAVE OPTED WITH SNOWSHOWERS WITH ACCUMULATIONS OF 2-4 INCHES THRUOUT CENTRAL IOWA FROM EARLY SATURDAY THRU MONDAY - WITH THE BRUNT OF THE SNOWFALL COMING SUNDAY AND EARLY MON WITH QUICK SHOTS OF MODERATE SNOWFALL PRIOR TO COLD FRONAL PASSAGE.
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO IOWA MONDAY ENDING THE CHANCES FOR SNOW - BUT WILL ALSO USHER IN SHARPLY COLDER AIR ONCE AGAIN.
Today thru Sun 3rd thru 6th - Dry/Breezy - then Mostly Cloudy/Breezy with Snowshowers Late Fri and thru the weekend (1-2 Inches) - Highs 14 Today increasing to High 20's by Sat.
Mon/Tues 7th/8th - Snow/Windy Mon (2 Inches) - then Dry/Breezy - Highs 15 decreasing to 5 Tues.
Wed thru Fri 9th thru 11th - Snow/Wed - Dry Thurs/Fri - Very COLD.
After the 11th? Looking at a period of unsettled weather for a week or so as numurous Artic Cold pushes coupled with brief warmups brings weather thru the Central Plains. We should see some snow mixed with rain thru the 14/15th - and possibly ending the period out with some icy conditions turning to snow.
BY THE WAY. IF YOU BELIEVE THE "GROUNDHOG THEORY" - HE DID NOT SEE HIS SHADOW...THAT MEANS AN EARLY SPRING.....I DOUBT IT!
