726 WWUS43 KDMX 122044 WSWDMX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Des Moines IA 244 PM CST Wed Feb 12 2020 ...Hazardous Travel and Bitter Cold Moving In... .A strong Arctic cold front will continue to push south through the state this afternoon and evening. Strong northwest winds and light snow immediately behind the front have lead to areas of blowing snow over northern Iowa, including near blizzard conditions at times in northwest Iowa where recent snowfall has occurred. Rapidly falling temperatures also accompany the front which could lead to a flash freeze of wet or slushy roads, particularly in portions of south central into southeastern Iowa where accumulating snowfall has occurred today. Bitter cold temperatures and breezy winds combine to drop wind chill values to dangerously cold levels late Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Feb 11, 2:46 PM CST, 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 2:46 PM CST, 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 246 PM CST Tue Feb 11 2020 .DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Tuesday/ Issued at 245 PM CST Tue Feb 11 2020 Tonight...Relatively quiet night tonight. Surface high to the southeast shifts southeast while a surface low develops over the Northern Plains ahead of a short wave that will pass east. For Iowa this will mean a shift to more southerly winds at the surface and some increasing mainly high clouds late. Soundings show strong winds off the surface going from 10 or less at the surface to between 30 and 40 kts just a couple thousand feet above. Likely going to cause aviation issues. Wednesday through Thursday... A deep upper trough shifts out of the west and lifts northeast across the Plains into the Upper Midwest. This will push a surface low out of the Southern Plains into the Great Lakes region and east. Warmer air and moisture will push north into Iowa on Wednesday, along with some decent lift. Temps should initially be warm enough for rain before transitioning to snow late in the day. Further north, an arctic front, ties to the above mentioned low will begin to surge through the Northern Plains and into northwest Iowa in the early to mid afternoon. Strong wind and plummeting temps will accompany the front, along with some light snow. The thought right now is that winds will not be strong enough for widespread blizzard conditions, though a small portion of our northwest, according to the blowing snow tool may see a brief period of near blizzard conditions. I issued a winter weather advisory, with the far northwest segmented to allow for the possibility of an upgrade in that area. Behind the front, precip will end but strong wind and very cold temps will drop wind chills across the north to wind chill warning criteria. Headlines will go out now for this with wind chill advisory criteria being met across southern areas. Far southern Iowa may escape criteria but the wind and the wind chills will be close enough not to split hairs. Wind chill advisory goes through 18Z Thursday though far northern Iowa may meet this through the day. Decided not to complicate headlines any further. Mid shift can extend wind chill advisory if trends still go that way, but winds will be diminishing Thursday. Thursday night...Brutally cold temps will continue Thursday night but wind will be much lighter. Additional headlines will be needed but for now there are two different scenarios so will deal with Thursday night headlines after the initial push on Wednesday. Friday...High pressure shifts off through the day with return flow moderating temps. However, the best warm advection does not occur until Friday night so highs Friday will be warmer than Thursday but the real moderation occurs Friday night with the days climatological highs occurring around midnight. Saturday and beyond...several weaker shortwaves traverse the Northern and/or Central Plains...depending on which model you want to believe...bringing at least some chance for precipitation to the state. Model blends put PoPs in the forecast from Friday night through Tuesday and the truth is that we will not see 4 days of snow. Tried to adjust PoPs to periods where better lift/forcing is occurring and forecast QPF is higher. Temps continue to moderate with highs returning to normal or slightly above. && .AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon/ Issued at 1232 PM CST Tue Feb 11 2020 Other than some brisk southwest winds through 22Z, VFR conditions expected through the forecast period. LLWS is forecast across northern TAF's overnight. Winds quickly increase to near 40kts around 2K ft off the surface. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
