December 24th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

A winter storm will impact the region from mid-week into late this week with the best chance of accumulating snow over northwest Iowa. While the precipitation may start as a wintry mix on Wednesday, warmer air will arrive over the state changing the precipitation to mainly rain from Wednesday night through late Thursday. Colder air will surge into the state Thursday night into Friday causing the rain to change to light snow before ending. Gusty winds will also develop and accentuate the chill. Those with travel plans across the region later this week should check the forecast for the latest information.
