Accumulating snow expected Wednesday afternoon

A fast moving, but strong, low pressure system will slide through Iowa and Missouri later this morning and afternoon.  This will bring heavy, accumulating snow through central and eastern Iowa, as well as in west-central Illinois where close to 6 inches of snow could fall.

Closer to home, 1" to 3" of new snow is likely by Wednesday night.  Just enough to freshen up the dirty snow from earlier this month.  The commute this morning will be quiet with some sun.  Clouds will quickly advance in from the west ahead of snow currently falling in central Iowa.  While most of the snow will hold off until mid-afternoon, a few lighter snow showers may be able to reach the ground west of a line from Monroe to Freeport to Sterling around Noon.  The snow will continue through the evening commute, which could cause roads to become a little slick with temperatures in the teens.  Just a few flurries will linger through the morning Thursday before skies clear with high pressure by the afternoon.
