Snow, Ice, Rain!!!

Well my rookie instincts were pretty close other than the fact that I was thinking it could be Thursday before it get's crappy but it's looking like late tonight the weather will be rolling in. NWS in Sioux Falls is showing some pretty good predictions, after looking at the surface maps they are right on what I would say too.

As this system rolls off tomorrow afternoon to the East it's going to cause some slight instablilty to the south of the system causing a 15% svr outlook for tomorrow around the Mississippi river basin. There are going to be 80 knot high level winds blowing in from the rockies along with 35-40 knot winds blowing in from the gulf so we will have to see if there is any moisture thrown in later on today. We'll see if I can get to another post tonight or not.

Slow weather patterns lately!

Lately there hasn't been much excitement with our weather in NW IA except the constant up and down days where one day it's 20 degrees and now today it's in the 50's! Tomorrow is looking to get as high as 60 but we will have to see if this front that is rolling in gets this far north. It's looking like it might turn more into Missouri . Leaving us with 45 degree weather. There is a chance for precip along with a big cool down later on this week. Rain, freezing rain, and snow is what we have to look forward to along with more 20 degree days at the end of the week.

Currently there is a 5% svr outlook for N Missouri and S IA tomorrow but there doesn't look to be enough sheer and cape to produce anything.

This front looks like it's going to rotate and stall over N Missouri. Most likely what the NWS is going off of to come up with the 5% but we will have to see.
