The National Weather Service says a winter system is likely to bring snow to portions of Iowa Saturday evening through Sunday morning. Confidence in the timing of this event is high. However, confidence is low to medium regarding the location of potential higher amounts of snow. At this time, it appears 1 to 2 inches of snow will in an area roughly along and south of Interstate 80, with around 1 inch falling across the rest of our area.

There is a chance, however, that higher totals of snow may fall across northern Iowa. In this scenario, most of the snow will fall overnight Saturday, leading to potentially slippery roads and hazardous travel Saturday night into Sunday morning. Keep it tuned here today as we will have a more accurate and higher confidence forecast by this afternoon. For next week, quiet weather conditions and above normal temperatures are expected. By next Thursday and Friday, highs in the 50s and even 60s is possible! Again, check back throughout today and this weekend, for forecast updates.
