TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS STRETCHED ACROSS IOWA FROM NEAR
MUSCATINE THOUGH IOWA FALLS AND NORTHWEST TO SHELDON. THE TROUGH
WILL MOVE LITTLE TODAY. THE LOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN NEARLY SATURATED
MUCH OF THE DAY IN THE VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY. THERE WILL BE A
GOOD AMOUNT OF VERTICAL MOTION WITHIN THIS SATURATED LAYER TODAY.
ICE INTRODUCTION TO THIS LAYER WILL BE ON AND OF THROUGH THE MORNING
AS WHILE MID LEVEL DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE IS INTRODUCED PERIODICALLY
AS A SHORT WAVE CLUSTER MOVES THROUGH. FREEZING DRIZZLE
ACCUMULATIONS OF A FEW TO SEVERAL HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH ARE POSSIBLE
THOUGH THE MORNING BEFORE CHANGING TO ALL SNOW BY THIS AFTERNOON.
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL GENERALLY BE AN INCH OR LESS THOUGH A LITTLE
MORE MAY OCCUR FROM MASON CITY AND NORTHEAST. THOUGH PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT...HAVE EXTENDED THE WINTER WX ADVISORY THROUGH
00Z TO MAINLY ACCOUNT FOR THE FREEZING DRIZZLE AND ICING THREAT. NO
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF TODAY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WONT STRAY FAR FROM CURRENT TEMPERATURES WITH COLD
ADVECTION IN PLACE MUCH OF THE DAY. SHOULD SEE SOME WARMING OVER THE
SOUTHWEST WHERE A FEW PEAKS AT THE SUN MAY OCCUR. STEADY TO FALLING
TEMPERATURES LIKELY OVER THE NORTH.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPPER LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CWA TODAY...AND PUSH TO THE EAST OF
THE AREA TONIGHT. SOME LINGERING PRECIP POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE CWA EARLY THIS EVENING...WITH ANY REMAINING LIGHT SNOW
TAPERING TO FLURRIES OVERNIGHT WITH THE NORTHERLY FLOW AND CAA. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE CWA FOR TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT SO
EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS. HOWEVER EXPECT SOME LINGERING LOW LEVEL
STRATUS ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW A SMALL SATURATED LAYER AROUND 925 MB...WITH THE LOW LEVELS
BEGINNING TO DRY OUT LATER TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE RIDGE
AXIS PUSHES EAST AND LOWER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHERLY.
SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY AS A WEAK SFC LOW
SLIDES FROM SE SD INTO ERN MN. WAA AND MOISTURE ADVECTION MAY LEAD
TO SOME LIGHT RAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY. UPPER
LEVEL FLOW MORE ZONAL INTO MID WEEK...WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
PUSHING ASHORE ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND INTO THE GREAT BASIN
WEDNESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL SHOVE OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST...WITH
AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW DEEPENING AS IT MOVES FROM THE TX
PANHANDLE TO SOUTHERN MO BY LATE THURSDAY. NORTHERN EXTENT OF THIS
SYSTEM SHOULD SPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE CWA THURSDAY INTO
THURSDAY EVENING...BEFORE QUICKLY PUSHING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
REGION BY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. EC/GFS COMING TOGETHER WITH FAIR
CONSENSUS REGARDING THE TIMING/PLACEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM. EC REMAINS
A BIT WARMER AT THE SURFACE WITH THIS SYSTEM...SUGGESTING MORE OF A
RAIN/SNOW MIX THURSDAY ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES...WITH THE
GFS ALL SNOW. BOTH MODELS ADVERTISE SNOW THURSDAY EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. EC ALSO BRINGS THE HEAVIER PRECIP FURTHER NORTH
INTO SOUTHERN IOWA...WITH QPF AMOUNTS AROUND A HALF AN INCH TO AN
INCH...WHILE THE GFS KEEPS THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION JUST SOUTH OF
THE BORDER ACROSS NORTHERN MO. THEREFORE HAVE BLENDED THE AMOUNTS OF
QPF FOR NOW TO GAIN AN IDEA ON SNOW AMOUNTS. WITH THAT BEING SAID
COULD SEE SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN
TWO-THIRDS OF THE CWA...WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS
THE SOUTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE CWA AT THIS TIME. INTO FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY A COUPLE OF WEAKER SHORTWAVES PUSH THROUGH THE AREA
PROVIDING CONTINUING CHANCES OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA.
ANOTHER STRONGER STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO TAKE SHAPE TO THE WEST OF THE
AREA SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...SO WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
MONITOR FOR POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION CHANCES AT THE
END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AND JUST BEYOND.

.AVIATION...21/12Z
LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NORTHERN SITES INTO THIS
EVENING WHILE LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED AT KDSM AND
KOTM. A WINTRY MIX IS LIKELY AT KMCW/KFOD/KALO WITH A PERIOD OF
FREEZING DRIZZLE MIXED IN WITH SNOW. IFR TO LIFR CIGS WILL BE
WIDESPREAD THIS MORNING. SOME MIXING OVER THE SOUTH WILL HELP PUSH
CIGS TO MVFR. THE MVFR CIGS THEN SHOULD PERSIST AREA WIDE MUCH OF
THE PERIOD THOUGH SOME SCATTERING MAY OCCUR OVER THE SOUTH. A COLD
FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH THROUGH BY TONIGHT WITH ALL LOCATIONS
SWITCHING TO NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS.
