The National Weather Service in Des Moines reports, ahead of the cold outbreak this weekend, a weather system will pass across the area and bring light to moderate snow to much of the state. There will be a narrow corridor extending from northwest Iowa to east central and southeast Iowa where 1 to 3 inches will be possible. A few spots may receive up to 4 inches within the band of snow. With the passage of this system an arctic high will move into the region and bring bitterly cold air into Iowa.
