WEATHER SUMMARY FOR IOWA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1140 AM CST THU FEB 18 2010


SKIES WERE MOSTLY SUNNY ACROSS EASTERN IOWA...BUT CLOUDS WERE
INCREASING ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE. TEMPERATURES WERE
IN UPPER TEENS TO UPPER 20S ACROSS THE STATE WITH LIGHT NORTHWEST
WIND.

TODAY CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO THICKEN FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL REACH THE UPPER 20S TO THE
NORTH AND LOWER 30S TO THE SOUTH. TONIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WILL
DROP DOWN TO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO THE NORTH AND TEENS TO THE
SOUTH. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY.

ON FRIDAY A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PASS OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND BRING CHANCES OF SNOW ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE REGION. AT THIS POINT ACCUMULATIONS APPEAR TO BE ON THE
ORDER OF A TRACE OVER CENTRAL IOWA...WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE NEAR THE IOWA MISSOURI BORDER.

LOOKING AHEAD...A MORE IMPRESSIVE STORM WILL AFFECT THE SAME AREAS
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. IT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE
SIGNIFICANT SNOW AMOUNTS SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY MONDAY
MORNING OVER MISSOURI. THE TRACK OF THIS LATE WEEKEND SYSTEM IS
STILL UNCLEAR. IF THE SYSTEM SHIFTS FURTHER NORTH...IT COULD BRING
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN IOWA AS WELL. HOWEVER...ONE
THING THAT REMAINS CERTAIN IS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE
BELOW NORMAL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH HIGHS IN THE 20S AND
LOWS NEAR IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO TEENS.
