Iowa — After a fine fall weekend, forecasters say we’re in for a much colder week ahead with the chance for snow in parts of Iowa midweek. Meteorologist Dylan Dodson, at the National Weather Service, says the rain today will be followed by colder weather midweek.
While parts of the Dakotas are expecting more than four inches of snow, Dodson says he doesn’t expect anywhere near those amounts in Iowa, though we may see some flakes flying on Wednesday.
The thunderstorms later today could be severe, with strong winds gusting up to 40 miles an hour. Tornadoes are unlikely, but are always possible, even in the final months of the year.
The National Weather Service recently confirmed an EF0 tornado hit near Bloomfield on November 5th. That adds to the record year for twisters in Iowa. The state’s now had 125 confirmed tornadoes this year, more than ever before.
