Tracking Weather Across the State
The concerns are slowly becoming a reality for much of Iowa and the Midwest. If you take a look at the map, you can see a large portion of Iowa now shaded in red instead of pink. This is an area now upgraded to a blizzard warning later today and [...]
We’ve been talking about it for a couple of days and now the storm is almost here. The models have come into relative agreement and now it appears all but certain that much of Iowa will see a very significant amount of snow. As a result, the National Weather Service [...]
As I look at some of the latest model runs this evening, my concern is growing that this won’t be just a snow storm that impacts Iowa and the rest of the Midwest. I fear this could turn into a serious blizzard, severely impacting travel in portions of the state [...]
There has not been much change in the thinking for later this week. And that’s bad news if you’re not a fan of winter. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for a large portion of the Upper Midwest, including much of Iowa, for Wednesday Night into [...]

We are monitoring the latest trends in the heart of Kansas. At this time, the Storm Prediction Center is looking at this area for a possible watch within the next hour or two. This is an area where strong to severe thunderstorms could develop this afternoon. These storms may eventually [...]
There is clearing out there behind this morning’s rain, but we’re still waiting for it here in Iowa. At this time there are indications that a dry column of air is setting up as expected, but farther south than earlier thought. If this trend continues it could greatly lessen the [...]
Our storm system has arrived, as evidence by the widespread moderate to heavy rains that have fallen over Iowa during the overnight hours. Fortunately this opening salvo of precip did not bring severe weather with it, only some very much needed rain to the drought damaged soil of Iowa. Now [...]
