Weather Summary for Iowa
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
519 PM CST Sun Dec 11 2016

Cloud cover was slowly clearing out over the northwest counties of
Iowa. By sunset, skies were mostly clear over the northwest third of
the state, while the remainder of Iowa was cloudy. There still was
some light snow being reported over far east central and southeast
Iowa by late afternoon. High temperatures were in the lower and middle
30s southeast to the lower and middle teens northwest. Northwest winds
were 10 to 20 mph with wind chills in the single digits northwest to
around 30 southeast. 

Low pressure was centered over northern Illinois late this afternoon
with a cold front extending into southeast Iowa and Missouri. The cold
front will continue to sweep across the region with high pressure
building into the region tonight and Monday. Behind the front, colder
temperatures are expected with lows around 0 for Monday morning across
northwest Iowa. On Monday, areas south of the snow cover will warm up
with temperatures topping out in the low to mid 30s across southern 
Iowa. This will be short lived as a much stronger arctic cold front 
will sweep across the region Monday night. The frontal passage may be 
accompanied by some light snow showers and a brief period of strong 
winds, but the bigger story will be the very cold temperatures 
experienced for the remainder of the week. From Tuesday through 
Thursday daily highs will mainly be in the single digits and teens. 
Meanwhile the lowest readings will likely come early Thursday morning,
when temperatures will approach 10 below zero across far northern 
Iowa. Another winter storm system will produce precipitation across 
the region from Friday into Saturday, then more cold weather is on tap
toward the end of next weekend.
