Weve got a little bit of snow in the forecast and whole lot of wind. There is a blizzard watch in effect for northwestern portions of the kwwl viewing area, including chickasaw, butler, bremer, grundy and black hawk counties. This is for sunday afternoon through monday evening. I want to stress that this is not for the amount of snow that is going to fall, but because of the wind. Heres the definition of a blizzard.

Threat tracker shows a mostly cloudy sky tonight. We are in the yellow for later tomorrow, and especially on monday, aainly for the northwestern portions of our viewinn area where we could see light snow in the afternoon with blowing snow possible causing reduced visibility and travel issues. Temperatres right now ate cooler to the north, ananwarmer to the south. The south had a bit more sunshine later this afternoon than those of us to the north. Thats why theres quite a difference in temperatures. Wiwids right now aae relatively light out of the southwest, but they will be picking up. Here is a look at future track wind speeds throughout the next couple days. They reallyy dont start to pick up until later sunday afternoon, and that is when those blizzard watches to the northwest will go into effect. No real threat of that tonight. As the front gets closer there may be a chance for an isolated rain or snow shower, but tht shouldnt ve an ffect on travel impact. As we go throughout the day tomorrow, we will have a mostly cloudy to partly cloudy sky. We may be able to sneak in a few peeks of sunshine. Then later in the afternoon we will start to destabilize the atmosphere and that is when we see the chance for scattered snow showers. Notice, it isnt anything widespread, but the threat is there for blowing snow. This threat will continue into the day on monday. Again, the best chance for travel issues will be to the northwest where there is already a lot of snow on the ground. Heres the Snowfall Forecast once again. Many of us staying under around an inch or less, with one to two inches of snow possible across the heres the storm track seven forecast for tonight mostly cloudy with a stray shower possibb, but most of us will stay dry.

Heres the storm track 7 y forecast. Temperatures will drop to the teens on tuesday through thursday. W e will be stuck in a pattern that gives us a couple chances for flurries thursday and friday, but for the most part we stay dry after monday.
