Statewide Iowa — While temperatures are forecast to climb back into the 60s for much of Iowa in the coming weekend, the National Weather Service is reminding us of — the inevitable.
Meteorologist Brooke Hagenhoff says it is Winter Weather Awareness Day and Iowans need to take note and start stocking up on supplies.
Hagenhoff says much of the weather across the continent is being influenced by the current La Nina pattern, which may have a minor impact on Iowa.
She warns that does NOT mean we will entirely avoid extreme cold snaps or significant snowfalls. Hagenhoff directs Iowans to the National Weather Service website for the Sioux Falls area office to learn more about winter weather safety.
That website is weather.gov/fsd.
