The National Weather Service says while temperatures will moderate through the weekend with highs from the mid 30s to around 50 through Sunday, a strong winter storm is likely next week. A couple of weak disturbances will affect Iowa today and Friday with the main impact being clouds and a slight chance of snow showers.

A strong winter storm is expected to develop over the Southwest U.S. into the Southern Plains then lift into the upper Midwest Tuesday through Wednesday. Officials say while it is too early too accurately assess track and timing, the storm will tap some gulf moisture and pull in a lot of cold air as it lifts Northeast. Moderate to heavy snowfall and strong winds are likely with this system. Watch and listen for updates on this developing storm system.
