Snowy Once Again this Morning

A weak disturbance currently passing through Iowa this morning has helped generate and expand an area of snow showers.  With temperatures in the teens the snowflakes are big and fluffy which could actually allow for some minor accumulations.  Some areas could see about a half an inch or maybe a little more under some of the more moderate snow - especially down to the south.  Already got a report from Rock Island County of 1.3" of snow since midnight.  Just make sure you take it easy out there this morning as visibility could be reduced in some locations.

We'll continue with the snow chances over the next couple of days and then a cold airmass will settle in by Thursday night.  Assuming that we will clear out enough, temperatures could very well fall close to -6° by Friday morning.  Winds will likely be a little gusty which will drop our wind chill values down.  The bright side: it will be short lived as temperatures should moderate by next week.
