    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 [...]

    It’s been a while since we’ve made any forecast postings.  I opted to avoid any posts on miniscule threats for severe weather and/or snow.  But this week, is different.  This week a storm system is expected to develop that could have major impacts on Iowa and the rest of the [...]
