Northwest Iowa — A round of wintry precipitation will impact the area from west to east Saturday night through Sunday.
It could start out with patchy freezing drizzle this evening and tonight, mainly west of I-29. Later in the night, and into Sunday morning, it should transition to all light snow. By early afternoon, the snow should exit southeast South Dakota, but continue farther east, with the possibility of heavier banded snowfall in northwest Iowa. After producing generally a trace to 3 inches of fresh snow and slick roads, the system should exit the area by Sunday evening. If you have travel plans tonight or Sunday, please check road conditions and the latest forecast details before leaving.
Following the snow on Sunday, a warmup is expected Monday and Tuesday of next week. Westerly winds will bring drier air and a mix of clouds and sunshine. Monday will be breezy, with west winds gusting up to 30 mph. Tuesday continues the mid-winter warmth, with less wind. Wednesday cools down closer to normal, but at least the weather remains dry.
