The Outlook for the Week Ahead

Windy Tuesday Night and Wednesday

Active Unsettled Week Ahead

The week ahead will feature windy conditions at times. It will also remain active with periodic chances for rain and snow. Any amounts look to be light. That being said, we'll have to keep an eye on the rain chances and temperatures for Tuesday evening, as any rain falling over colder snow covered areas could result in minor icing and slick spots. The winds by Wednesday could be quite strong in the wake of a passing cold front with gusts over 40 mph possible.

An active and unsettled week is in store with periodic chances of rain, snow, and freezing rain and very windy conditions. Some slick roads due to freezing rain will be possible tomorrow during the evening commute primarily across northeast IA and northwest IL. In addition, very strong winds are expected Tuesday night and Wednesday morning behind the departing storm system. The end of the week will feature much colder temps and more snow chances heading into the weekend.
