Iowa snowfall totals: See how much added up Saturday
Several more inches accumulated in some areas.
TOMORROW EVENING AND ZANE GOOD NEWS ABOUT TOMORROW IS THEY WON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SNOWFALL. THEY MIGHT WANT TO BUNDLE UP A LITTLE BIT MORE. YES YOU WILL. YOU WILL GET MORE SUNSHINE BACK AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW, KAYLA. AND IT WILL JUST FEEL PRETTY COLD ONCE AGAIN. NOT AS COOL AS THOUGH AT TIMES IT HAS. LAST WEEK WE’RE WRAPPING UP THE SNOW THOUGH THIS EVENING. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE MOST OF IT NOW FALLING GENERALLY EASTERN HALF OF IOWA. STILL A FEW FLAKES UP TOWARDS FORT DODGE, WEBSTER CITY. THESE ARE JUST THE LINGERING. THAT’S KIND OF THE BACK EDGE. MOST OF WESTERN IOWA IS DONE, AND JUST DEALING WITH SOME CLOUDS, AND NOT NEARLY AS BAD A VISIBILITY RIGHT NOW HERE, DOWNTOWN DES MOINES AS WE SAW EARLIER ON. SO WE’VE JUST GOT A FEW FLAKES LEFT OVER TO TO. SO TOMORROW, YES, WE’RE GOING TO BE FRIGID ONCE WE DRY OUT FROM TONIGHT’S SNOW. WINDCHILLS WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS OR COLDER, DEPENDING WHERE YOU’RE AT TOMORROW. DURING THE DAY, THERE ARE A COUPLE MORE POSSIBILITIES FOR SOME SNOW TOO, AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK WITH A PAIR OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WE MENTIONED. YEAH, THERE’S SOME ISSUES WITH HOLIDAY STUFF GOING ON EARLIER TODAY. DID HAVE SOME COOL STUFF THAT AT LEAST GOT TO HAPPEN THOUGH. IN SOME PLACES UP IN ANKENY IN THE PRAIRIE TRAIL AREA, THE DISTRICT DAZZLING IN THE DISTRICT AS THEIR EVENT THEY HAD EARLIER ON. LEE TOOK THIS SPECTACULAR PICTURE THERE OF THE CITY OF ANKENY FIREWORKS DISPLAY AFTER, YOU KNOW, HAD ALL SORTS OF EVENTS AND SANTA WAS THERE AND TREE GOT LIT AND EVERYTHING ELSE. LOOK AT THE KIDS ENJOYING THE HOLIDAY FIREWORKS WITH THAT NEW SNOW EARLIER ON THIS EVENING. NOW THE SNOW OBVIOUSLY IS CAUSED A LITTLE BIT OF SOME TREACHEROUS TRAVEL THOUGH OUTSIDE STILL SOME SNOW COVERED ROADS. THESE ARE ALL OUR INTERSTATES AND ALSO HIGHWAY 20 AROUND IOWA. YOU HEAD UP TO I-35 ON THE EAST SIDE. AMES CANTON. YOU KNOW THE LEFT LANE IS PRETTY SNOWY. SAME CASE ON I-80 AS YOU HEAD TOWARDS NEWTON. THE WEST MIXMASTER LOOKS A LITTLE BIT BETTER HERE IN DES MOINES, JUST BECAUSE THERE’S PROBABLY BEEN MORE TRAFFIC ON IT TO KIND OF MELT DOWN SOME OF THE SNOW, BUT THAT’S KIND OF THE DEAL. MAINLY SNOW COVERED ROADS AROUND THE DES MOINES AREA AND ALL OF OUR INTERSTATES AND MAIN ARTERIES, AND THEN EASTWARD AND NORTHWARD IS BASICALLY THE DEAL HERE, 100% SNOW COVERED ROADS, GENERALLY HERE, WHERE YOU SEE ALL THE PINK, A LITTLE BIT IMPROVEMENT NOW ALREADY STARTING ACROSS WESTERN IOWA WHERE THE SNOW HAS WRAPPED UP A LITTLE BIT SOONER, AND THEN DOWN IN SOUTHERN IOWA, YOU’RE GENERALLY SEASONAL ROADS JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T HAD REALLY THAT MUCH SNOW AND YOU’VE HAD MAYBE SOME PATCHY MIX AS WE’VE GONE THROUGH THE DAY. SO THE SNOW IS WRAPPING UP NOW THAT BACK EDGE OF THE SNOW CONTINUES EASTWARD HERE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE REST OF TONIGHT. ONCE WE GET TOWARDS MIDNIGHT, I THINK WE’RE PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY DONE. MAYBE FOLKS OUT TOWARDS, LET’S SAY, SIGOURNEY OR GRINNELL OR OTTUMWA MIGHT STILL HAVE A FEW FLAKES FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, AND THEN NOTICE OUR CLOUDS START TO DISAPPEAR FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS WE HEAD TOWARDS DAYBREAK TOMORROW, THERE WILL BE A COLD BREEZE, THOUGH, AS THIS SYSTEM GETS ON OUT OF HERE. WINDS, IF THEY HAVEN’T ALREADY OUT TO THE WEST, WILL START TO GUST OUT OF THE NORTH THIS EVENING AROUND 2020 FIVE MILES PER HOUR. THAT’S WHERE WE’LL START TOMORROW, BUT WATCH AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY YOUR WINDS DIE DOWN. SO REALLY, BY THE AFTERNOON, THINGS LOOK BETTER. ON YOUR SUNDAY, THE SUNSHINE COMES OUT AND WE HAVE LESS OF A COLD WIND. BUT IT’S STILL GOING TO BE COLD. SO YOU’RE WAKE UP WIND CHILLS TOMORROW. THIS IS PART OF THE REASON WE HAVE A FEW CHURCHES THAT HAVE CANCELED. WE’VE GOT TEENS BELOW ZERO, FORT DODGE AND HUMBOLDT AND CLARION, EAGLE GROVE AND ELSEWHERE. UP NORTH, THE HIGHWAY 20 SINGLE DIGITS BELOW UP TOWARDS HIGHWAY 30, RIGHT AROUND ZERO HERE IN DES MOINES, AND SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA. EVEN INTO THE AFTERNOON, IF NOT A TON OF IMPROVEMENT, MOST OF US ONLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AT BEST FOR YOUR AFTERNOON WIND CHILLS. NOW THAT PAIR OF SYSTEMS COMING NEXT WEEK, WELL, WE’LL SHOW YOU AT LEAST ONE OF THEM EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE DO WARM UP FIRST AS WE HEAD TOWARDS MONDAY. WE GET INTO THE 20S. WE’LL GET TO THE 30S. ACTUALLY, MONDAY NIGHT CONTINUOUSLY WARM INTO TUESDAY, BUT IT’S ALL AHEAD OF ANOTHER ONE OF THESE FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE CENTERS. THIS CLIPPER COMES QUICKLY OUT OF THE NORTH, AND THE WEST MIGHT ACTUALLY BRING US A CHANCE OF A LITTLE BIT OF SOME RAIN, BUT ALSO 40S ON TUESDAY. AND THEN LATE TUESDAY NIGHT, A FEW MORE SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE AS THAT COLD PART OF THAT SYSTEM ZOOMS BY AND A COLD WIND BLOWS OUR TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN. SO WE GET TO THE 40S. TUESDAY WE DROP BELOW FREEZING AGAIN. WEDNESDAY THERE’S ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW ON THURSDAY, AND THEN WE GET TO SOME COLD WEATHER WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE TEENS. AS WE H
