The area’s first snowfall of the season wasn’t too impressive, but the drop in temperature was. Atlantic topped out at 61-degrees during the mid-day hours on Monday, but by 3-p.m., the temperature had plunged almost 20 degrees, and by 5-p.m. we were at 33 here at the KJAN studios, your official National Weather Service reporting site for Atlantic. Our 24-hour low at 7-a.m. today, was 18.

Snowfall overnight included .3″ (three-tenths of an inch) at KJAN. The National Weather Service says Denison and Carroll both reported one-half inch of snow, while Jefferson recorded eight-tenths of an inch. Rockwell City had one-inch of snow.
