The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 18, 11:31 PM CST, 3 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1131 PM CST Mon Feb 18 2019 .DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Monday/ Issued at 321 PM CST Mon Feb 18 2019 Main focus in this timeframe will be on the system forecast to affect the state Tuesday night into Wednesday as active pattern continues across the CONUS. Large surface ridge will settle into the upper Midwest tonight keeping general subsidence and quiet conditions over Iowa and surrounding areas. Decent radiational cooling and light winds should allow for temperatures in the single digits above and below zero across the area tonight. Some patchy fog may also for with residual low level moisture but don't anticipate anything problematic. Shortwave rounds base of the trof on Tuesday and begins to progress northeast by late in the day. Warm advection will intensify across Iowa through the day and robust isentropic lift is expected by the afternoon into the evening. Clouds will rapidly overspread the state by afternoon and as the lift intensifies, snow will spread into the southwest by the late afternoon. Deep lift is expected overnight with strong mid level forcing ahead of the approaching shortwave. Jet segment approaching will also aid in upper level divergence across the area overnight and all the forcing will lead to widespread precipitation across the state during the night. Thermal profiles indicate snow in all areas with good forcing in the dendritic growth zone, especially in the west. Anticipate decent snow rates by late evening into the early morning hours with an inch per hour or so as max forcing passes through the state. Lift will linger across the forecast area on Wednesday morning but will gradually subside as the upper system departs the area. GFS has been suggesting a secondary weak wave in the early afternoon which may allow snow to linger a bit longer and this will need to be watched. Overall, snow amounts are generally from 5 to 8 inches across a large portion of the forecast area by mid to late morning on Wednesday. Given the snow rates and impacts to the Wednesday morning commute, have expanded the watch across much of the forecast area. One fortunate aspect of the system is that winds will be kept relatively in check, especially given the expansive deep snowpack across the state that could easily be blown about. Cold advection is held in check on the backside of the system as deep southwest flow persist across the central United States. Still closely watching the another system set to impact the state Friday into the weekend. Initial warm advection and light precipitation is expected on Friday night into Saturday which may see relatively warm air across the state and rain over the southeast with mixture farther north. However, bulk of system arrives Saturday night into early Sunday with heavier precipitation and strong winds. Still uncertainty in track with this storms but significant rain/snow amounts appear likely. && .AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night/ Issued at 1127 PM CST Mon Feb 18 2019 A few areas of fog have developed and will linger overnight and may locally vsbys below 1sm. Possible local IFR/LIFR cigs with lower vsby fog. VFR conditions much of Tuesday. Lowering cigs and increasing snow chances by Tuesday evening. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
