The winter storm for tonight hasn’t even started and yet the National Weather Service wants to bring your attention to the NEXT potent winter weather maker this coming weekend! Officials say a very potent system is slated to move through the region Saturday into Sunday with the potential for heavy snowfall (in northwest Iowa), a wintry mix (in central Iowa), and rain/wintry mix (in southeast Iowa) along, with strong winds (blowing snow). Keep your shovels and snow blowers handy and/or fueled-up for this weekend’s attack from Mother Nature.
