3 Day Outlook

2026 Spotter Training

A weak system passing through tonight will bring a period of light snow to areas mainly south of I-80 and possibly some freezing drizzle south of Highway 34. Slippery travel conditions are the primary concern overnight into early Thursday morning.

Large temperature swings are expected late this week as several storm systems pass through the Midwest and southern Canada. The warmest day will be on Friday with highs in the 60s for portions of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois.

Here is the schedule for the 2026 Spotter Training sessions. There will be no in-person talks this year. To register for one of the sessions, please visit https://www.weather.gov/dvn/spotters#schedule. Select the date from the list you would like to attend and follow the GoToWebinar link to sign up.
