THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF

SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE

A STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES THIS MORNING WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY LATE TONIGHT. SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL IOWA THIS EVENING AND THEN SPREAD EAST...REACHING EASTERN IOWA AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND TO THE EAST INTO NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL
ILLINOIS BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE GREATEST TO THE WEST OVER CENTRAL OR WESTERN IOWA. AMOUNTS WILL TAPER OFF TO THE EAST...AS THE SNOW ENCOUNTERS A DRIER AIRMASS OVER ILLINOIS AND EASTERN IOWA. (Yuk!)
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING...YOU SHOULD MONITOR LOCAL WEATHER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION ON THIS STORM SYSTEM.
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MOVING OUT OF WESTERN CANADA WILL BRING A THREAT OF MORE SNOW TO THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT MUCH OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA COULD SEE SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS FROM THIS SYSTEM.
So, maybe an inch for me tonight, and if I miss this time, there is always Thursday into Friday, and if I miss again words are brewing about another system moving in Monday-Tuesday, though in the local forecast discussion they are still being mum on accum. amounts. If I miss from all 3, I'm packing my bags!!
