A Few More Bumps
    Hi 21 F
Lo -7 F		  

The latest winter storm will exit today, but before it does there will be a few more hits with this one.  The first may be some light snow that totals about 1" to 3" for us with 3" being on the high end.  Most of that will be in the area between east of I-35, I-80 and US-20. 

Once the snow stops the wind will start, and a fair amount of snow will start blowing around.  Gusts could be up to 35 mph this afternoon, so visibilities will be an issue.  Roads are also expected to be tough all day especially once the wind picks up.  Updates on Iowa roads can be found here.  Metro road conditions are found here.

It will quiet down tonight, but it will still be cold.  Look for many of us to be near or below zero.  A modest recovery with regards to temperatures is possible for Wednesday, but the cold air will still be around.  Temperatures will fall below zero for pretty much everyone Wednesday night.

We will warm up a bit on Friday, but there will also be some chances for flurries.  Some snowfall chances re-enter the forecast for Saturday evening, and cold air will follow in after that.

Keep warm and safe!
