Snow and Freezing Drizzle Potential Tonight

Precipitation Type/Timing & Temperature Forecast

Active Pattern and Fluctuating Temperatures

2026 Spotter Training

A quick moving system will bring snow to areas mainly south of Highway 30 tonight. Accumulations look to be light and generally under an inch, but a narrow band of 1-2 inch amounts is possible for parts of southeast Iowa. The snow may change to a period of freezing drizzle late tonight along and south of an Ottumwa to Galesburg line. This may result in slippery travel conditions, which could impact the Thursday morning commute.

Here's a detailed look at the precipitation timing and type, and temperature forecast tonight into Thursday morning for select cities along and south of Highway 30.

A couple systems moving through the area tonight and Saturday will be accompanied by precipitation chances, and lead to fluctuating temperatures.
