Weather Summary for Iowa National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1041
AM CST Fri Jan 27 2023
Light snow showers that moved thru this morning are now exiting to
the east. Mostly cloudy skies, colder temperatures, and gusty winds
are anticipated this afternoon as a push of cold air moves into the
state. Late tonight into Saturday, an additional round of snowfall
will begin to move in from the west, mainly affecting northern Iowa.
The heaviest snowfall amounts are expected to be around 5 to 8
inches. Locally reduced visibilities in areas of blowing snow along
with hazardous road conditions are also likely. To the north and
south of the heaviest band, amounts taper off fairly quickly. All of
this will wind down by Saturday evening, while bitter cold air
continues to filter in from the northwest.
While some light snow may be seen into next week, the main story
turns to the bitter cold with a number of days where overnight and
morning wind chills will fall into the 20 to 30 below zero range. Be
sure to dress appropriately and when outside and to make sure you
have a winter safety kit if you plan to do any traveling.
