Looks like this weekend will be snowy in Iowa
QuoteIf shoveling wasn’t part of your New Years Day plans, it might be now. A significant winter storm looks to impact the state over the weekend and could dump more than six inches of snow in some areas. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the southern half of Iowa.
“We’ve been mentioning this for several days and now that the storm is closer, the specifics are becoming much clearer allowing for a more detailed forecast,” said First Alert Storm Team Meteorologist Jan Ryherd. “The bottom line is that snow will fall across the state this weekend with heavier amounts to the south. We’re very confident about that.”
As of the Thursday early evening forecast, Ryherd said that areas roughly along and south of Interstate 80 will see the heaviest amounts of snowfall with seven to ten inches of snow possible, with isolated heavier amounts possible. Areas between Highways 20 and 30 are looking at four to seven inches, with lighter amounts north of Highway 20.
So we appear to be in the 4 to 7 inch band. Southern Iowa it looks like they'll get almost a foot. Of course in reality we'll have anywhere from a trace to 99 inches of snow. Right now it looks like we'll get hit on Saturday and it'll be clear out on Sunday.
