DES MOINES, Iowa — Snow looks to move west-to-east across central Iowa, ending in the mid-to-late Saturday evening. Computer model estimates for Des Moines and the expected snowfall map for the WHO 13 viewing area are below.
Winds will become northerly and pick up after midnight, gusting at times about 20mph. This will cause a little blowing and drifting. Be very careful if you need to travel Saturday night, especially in the north where totals will be heavier. Road conditions can be found at 511ia.org.
Wind chills will fall below zero both Sunday and Monday mornings, but high temperatures will recover and be milder on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday will be a breezy one, with a chance for some sprinkles or snow showers. Light snow accumulations are possible with a system moving through Thursday, then temperatures turn colder again.
Highs for the next six days are above, and your WHO 13 7-day forecasts are below. We look to stay in temperatures that are mainly below average in your extended outlook…
