AGAIN...Are they kidding?

Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the entire viewing are for Thursday into Friday morning. While we clean up after 2 to 5 inches of snow fell across Eastern Iowa on Tuesday the next system is approaching from the southwest. This will bring warmer air moving over the new snow on the ground. That will lead to freezing rain and sleet before changing over the snow. The northern counties may only have snow, but there will be enough moisture that some areas near the Minnesota border may receive up to 8 inches of new snow. There is the potential for half an inch of ice to accumulate as well as an inch of sleet. This will create hazardous driving conditions and may produce power outages. The snow will move out Friday morning, but another storm will move in for Saturday and Sunday. This will have much colder air with it so it should fall as only snow. Arctic air will settle over us for a few days for next week.
