Even as the rainfall subsided on Tuesday afternoon, the San Francisco Bay Area was still being buffeted by strong winds, with several gusts surpassing 90 mph being documented. According to PG&E, the Mount Umunhum gauge registered a wind gust of 97 mph, while a measurement at San Francisco International Airport indicated 74 mph. Additionally, Mines Road in the East Bay interior was hit by a 93 mph gust.

The Northeast is bracing for a powerful winter storm which has already begun to cause chaos in the region. Heavy snowfall and powerful wind gusts have been reported, with snowfall totals of 12 inches or more expected over large portions of New England and Upstate New York. Dangerous travel conditions, power outages, and coastal flooding are all expected to be caused by the nor’easter storm.

An area of rain and snow will continue to slowly work north today through later tonight. Precipitation should begin to wrap up in northern Iowa around 9-11 PM tonight. That said, scattered flurries should linger from northwest to north central Iowa overnight into Thursday morning before the main activity arrives. Snow will increase across west into central Iowa by Thursday morning with the activity expanding into eastern Iowa by late morning and through the afternoon. A widespread snowfall event is likely during the day Thursday through late evening for most locations in the forecast area. Areas in extreme southern Iowa will have a mix of rain/snow which will limit accumulations. Snow will begin to taper off across west and central Iowa by late Thursday night and eastern Iowa by early Friday. Once Friday morning hits, a few snow showers may remain across northeast Iowa before the system works east of the state.

The weather is always a topic of conversation, and for good reason. It affects our daily lives, from our outfits to our commutes. With the recent shift in weather patterns, staying informed and prepared is crucial.

A Wind Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM for multiple counties and cities in south central and southwest New Mexico from 8 AM MST today until 8 PM MST Thursday.

A low pressure system will be placed in eastern Colorado by later this evening with rain increasing across Iowa 6-9 PM tonight. A decent slug of heavier rainfall will slide through the state overnight into Monday morning with the main axis of moisture extending from southwest through central and into eastern Iowa. Due to the heavy rainfall, ponding and localized stream flooding is not out of the question. Also need to watch south central into extreme southeastern Iowa early Monday morning for a few stronger storms that may contain some hail and damaging wind gusts. This activity will taper off across western Iowa mid-morning, central Iowa by late morning and eastern Iowa by early Monday afternoon. The numbers have been crunched for the system with rainfall amounts of 1-2" expected for a large portion of the forecast area and some locations on the lower end of that scale. I continue to think that a cut-off will be seen across interior northwest Iowa from 0.25-0.50" to 0.50-1.00" leading to totals that can underachieve in this zone.

Super Windy Day Across the Southland

A surface low across northeast Kansas will pivot northeast today with snow continuing across northern Iowa and rain/freezing rain to the southeast this morning. This activity will expand north and east through the day as the storm system will get underway across the forecast area. Precipitation will be primarily snow across northern Iowa later this afternoon through late tonight while further south into central and eastern Iowa will have freezing rain. The ice accumulations for such will be primarily 0.10-0.25" from central into east/northeast Iowa with locally higher amounts into a few areas of east central and northeast Iowa. The hotspot is near Dubuque where 0.25"+ is likely which will meet the warning threshold. In terms of snowfall accumulations, the highest amounts are across the northern two county rows with a sharp cutoff in northeast Iowa. In addition, sustained winds 15-30 MPH with gusts 30-50 MPH will continue today through tonight.

A strong storm system will impact the forecast area starting tonight, maximizing Thursday morning and ending early Thursday afternoon, so read on for details... The strong storm front will begin to impact the southern Iowa with rain working in 4-6 pm this evening. The activity will continue to spread north and east through late tonight and as it does so, temperatures will cool with rain changing over to heavy wet snow overnight. Once Thursday hits, the low will be positioned off into Illinois which will put the east central and southeast zones in the best trajectory for light to moderate snow accumulations. Snow will begin to taper off across central Iowa Thursday mid-morning and eventually eastern Iowa by later Thursday morning. Then the focus will turn to a second pulse of energy that will start in northwest Iowa midday Thursday and as it slides east, flurries and brief snow showers are possible. Main impacts from the second pulse will be for northwest Iowa with visibility reduced at times due to falling snow and strong northwest winds.
