The National Weather Service says a fast moving weather system will produce periods of light snow this morning. Snowfall amounts will range from a dusting to around one inch. The morning commute will likely be impacted with roads become snow covered and slippery. Just before 6-a.m., the Iowa Dept. of Transportation’s map at 511ia.org showed most roads in southwest Iowa between Highway 92 and Highway 44, were partially covered with snow. South of Highway 92, roads were mostly covered with snow. The snowfall should move east of the area by around noon.

Otherwise expect mostly cloudy conditions the remainder of the afternoon with highs in the 20s. Mostly cloudy and cold conditions are expected on Thursday although it should be dry. Quiet but cold conditions are expected on New Year’s Eve with lows in the single digits north to the lower teens south. Expect some sunshine on New Year’s Day with seasonal temperatures in the 20s.
