Thursday: Temps will rebound back to the Low 40's as High Pressure moves East - at the same time, an Upper Level system will move West-East across Northern Iowa giving us a shot at some Freezing Drizzle during the morning - then Aftn Isolated Rainshowers - Lt Snow North of HWY 30.....
The weekend: Here we go again. It's looking like what we just went thru this weekend - Low Pressure will develop in the Tx Panhandle and move Northeast into Central Mo. by late Friday - and moves quickly NE by midday Sat. Snow totals look minimal right now - but like always - the true track is everything. We're likely to see a Rain, to Rain/Snow Mix (Possibly FzRain), then a narrow band of Lt/Moderate Snow in the Southeast 1/2 of the state - With the Heaviest Precip South of HWY 92 - and East of I-35.....

THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING GOING ON IN THE OVERALL WORLDWIDE ATMOSPHERE RIGHT NOW (MAY BE SOMETHING ONLY A WEATHER NERD CAN APPRECIATE). IT'S NOTHING UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR - IT'S JUST AN INTERESTING PERIOD FOR PROGNOSTICATORS...
THE EARTHS ATMOSPHERE TRAVELS IN WAVES AROUND THE WORLD (Much like dropping a rock in a pool of water. Once the rock hits the water, the waves propagate out - weaken as waves move farther from the point of impact. If you add more rocks to mix - the wave numbers and strength increase). WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A FIVE WAVE PATTERN WORLD WIDE. WITH THAT - WE WOULD SEE A STORM SYSTEM EVERY 5 DAYS OR SO (much like what we've see the past 3 weeks). THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE.
BY NEXT WEEK, THE PATTERN WILL CHANGE TO A 3-4 WAVE PATTERN. THE DRIVER FOR THIS IS A CURRENT STORM SYSTEM IN THE NORTH PACIFIC. INTURN, A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER OVER THE INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE WILL GET EVEN STRONGER - THIS WILL CREATE LOWER PRESSURES, COOLER TEMPERATURES, AND INCREASED RAINS OVER THE WEST COAST OF THE U.S. ONCE THIS PATTERN GETS ESTABLISHED NEXT WEEK IT SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE UP TO THE EQUINOX (The time when the sun crosses the earth's equator, making night and day of approximately equal length all over the earth and occurring about March 21 (the spring or vernal equinox) and September 22 (autumnal equinox).
THE NET RESULT WILL BE FOR A MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN (systems every 3-4 days) TEMPERATURES TO GENERALLY AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL THIS WEEK AND THEN AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL OVER THE WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REBOUND AND AVERAGE AROUND NORMAL LATE NEXT WEEK THROUGH ATLEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. PRECIPITATION WILL DEPEND ON THE LOCATION OF THE ACTIVE STORM TRACK. HOWEVER...FOR MUCH OF THE AREA PRECIPITATION SHOULD GENERALLY AVERAGE AT OR ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE FIRST 10 TO 14 DAYS OF THE MONTH. PARTS OF THE AREA COULD SEE PRECIPITATION AVERAGE AT OR BELOW NORMAL - MAINLY EXTREME NORTHERN IOWA.
