It will be a cold night with spotty snow showers and breezy winds. Not everyone will see snow overnight, but those that do could pick up a quick dusting before sunrise. Road conditions should be fine, but some patchy black ice may be on Iowa roads, so be careful!
We'll start Wednesday morning with returning sunshine and temperatures in the 10s. Wind chills will be near zero.
Wednesday will be mostly sunny, but it will also be breezy and colder. Highs will only be in the mid 20s, putting us about 15 degrees below average.
It stays cold Thursday, in the mid 20s with mostly cloudy skies. Some light snow flurries might clip parts of northwest Iowa and northeast Nebraska on Thursday afternoon, and we could see a dusting of snow north of US HWY 30.
Timing is still uncertain for Friday's storm system, but the track is now becoming a little more certain.
Friday will start out cloudy, breezy and dry as temperatures rise out from the teens in the morning, and into the low to mid 30s late afternoon. Eventually, rain will begin to move in from the south during the afternoon and evening commute. Because air temperatures will be near/below freezing for much of the day, some of this could start out as freezing rain and snow. This could cause some travel problems late Friday afternoon through early Saturday.
There should be a transition to a very cold rain as the system moves northeast late Friday night, allowing the wintry mix to move northeast and into northern Iowa overnight. The precipitation should come to an end before Saturday morning.
Saturday will be dry, with a mix of sunshine and clouds, and highs in the mid 30s.
Sunday will be much warmer, in the mid 40s with sunny skies.
We'll start next week with a chance for rain on Monday and highs near 50.
Tuesday will be partly cloudy and cooler, with highs in the mid 40s, which is near average for December.
