(Radio Iowa) – Snow is NOT in Iowa’s forecast — until late Wednesday and Thursday. Meteorologist Allan Curtis at the National Weather Service office in the Des Moines metro says it will be nothing like what Iowa has endured over the past few days. “Certainly not 10 inches of snow like we saw the last couple of storm,” Curtis says. The National Weather Service reports 25-and-a-half (25.5) inches of snow fell in the Quad Cities from Monday through Friday of last week. Dubuque recorded 24-point-seven inches of snow during the same period. Nearly two feet fell in Waterloo from Monday through Friday. Those are all record amounts for a five day period. Curtis says the snow that has piled up will stay a while.

“Even if we got warm — 30 or 40 degrees — we would need at least a couple of weeks of that to make a real dent in the people’s general snow pack in their yards,” Curis says. “There are areas — edges of driveways, parking lots, rural areas — that have feet of snow and it’s going to take even longer for that, so for better or worse, I hope people are prepared to see this snow stick around for a number of weeks.” Today’s (Monday’s) high will below zero. By six o’clock, when tens of thousands of Iowans will be arriving at Caucus sites around the state, wind chills will flirt with 30 below zero.

“Really, the take away there is when traveling, please be careful because if you get stuck, that’s when the wind chill and the cold really become a concern for people,” Curtis says. “Just dress appropriately. Take your time.” There is a wind chill warning in effect for Iowa until noon on Tuesday.

(Radio Iowa) – This week will end much as it started, with a whopper snowstorm. Forecasters say a Winter Storm Warning is posted for 98 of Iowa’s 99 counties from tonight (Thursday) through tomorrow night, with near-blizzard conditions likely. National Weather Service meteorologist Kristi Carter says it’ll be another doozy. “Our snow amounts for much of central Iowa are going to range from around five to 10 inches,” Carter says, “and that is also going to be combined with on Friday afternoon into early Saturday, winds that are going to be gusting over 40 miles an hour.” While the snowstorm that ran Monday into Tuesday dropped up to 15 inches of heavy, wet snow on the state, she says this approaching storm will produce a lighter type of snowflake.

“That snow is going to be very fluffy and blowable,” Carter says, “and those gusty winds, we also already have snow on the ground from the storms we’ve had already this week, that’s going to lead to a significant blowing snow threat especially later Friday into Saturday.” That could mean white-out conditions and a very unsafe recipe for motorists, particularly if there’s icing on the roads. She notes this next storm will be much colder than the one earlier in the week. “Temperatures will be falling into single digits by early Saturday,” Carter says. “Our wind chills are going to be falling well below zero tomorrow night into Saturday, and then will continue to fall Saturday night into Sunday with wind chills of negative-20 to around negative-40.” The forecast calls for the -high- temperatures on Sunday to only be in the negative single digits, with lows approaching 20-below. Our furnaces will be working overtime as it doesn’t appear that there will be much of a change for days.

“We are looking at a small warm-up towards the middle of the week, around the Wednesday timeframe, where we’re looking at temperatures that start to reach the teens again,” Carter says, “so that’s at least better than the single digits but certainly looking pretty cold through the week.” Keep up with the changing forecast at weather-dot-gov and stay informed about road conditions by visiting 5-1-1-i-a-dot-org.
