What forecasters said that day
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.
NWS Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 9, 11:28 PM CST, 4 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 11:28 PM CST, 4 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1128 PM CST Thu Jan 9 2020 ...Updated 06z Aviation... .DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Thursday/ Issued at 349 PM CST Thu Jan 9 2020 Active forecast period awaits Iowa with multiple system affecting the state over the next week. However, the main focus lies with the system expected to affect the area Friday afternoon into Saturday evening. Models have been slowly converging on an overall solution with confidence gradually increasing with the forecast. Currently, very warm to record breaking temperatures exist across much of central Iowa with gusty west to southwest winds. However, change is arriving in northwest Iowa as a cold front has pushed into that corner of the state. This boundary will sweep across the state tonight with much colder air arriving by Friday morning. Main focus then turns to a big round of forcing arriving Friday afternoon and persisting through the evening. NAM has been by far, the most aggressive with frontogenetical forcing by late afternoon and evening across central Iowa. Isentropic lift is also very impressive with widespread precipitation across central and southern Iowa by 00Z. However, the bulk of GEFS and Euro output is not nearly as strong with QPF across central Iowa during this time with the bulk going into the broad band of showers and embedded storms in Missouri and Illinois. That being said, there is a noted northwest shift of overall QPF associated with the Friday afternoon/evening event which does increase snowfall in central Iowa with a bit more icing in southern Iowa as a warm nose aloft moves into the south. Amounts near I80 have increased into the 1-3" range with higher amounts to the southeast. In addition, up to a tenth of an inch or so of icing occurs near the Missouri border where soundings indicate the warmer air aloft. By later in the evening, precipitation is forecast to end as forcing subsides with snow and any freezing pcpn dissipating into the overnight. The upper low and associated mid level forcing are then expected to approach the southeast half of the state into Saturday with forcing ramping up once again. At this point, cold air will be deep enough to ensure that only snow falls on Saturday as the deformation zone passes across the southeast/east during the day. Additional accumulations are expected during this time with heaviest amounts in the southeast portions of the forecast area. The combination of both precipitation episodes is sufficient to warrant a watch headline across southeast portions of the forecast area for late tomorrow into Saturday night. Of course, should an even more northwest track become apparent, the headlines may need some additional westward adjustment as necessary. Of additional concern is the timing of precipitation arrival on Friday. At this time, snow will be intensifying during the beginning of the evening commute on Friday afternoon with the precipitation continuing throughout the evening. This may produce difficult travel conditions when most drivers are heading home at the end of the work day. The forecast beyond this period continues to appear active with a series of waves passing through Iowa every 24-36 hours. As previously mentioned in the past few discussion, the timing of these waves is difficult to predict at this point with the main take-away that additional light snow events are expected at various times from late in the weekend through the middle of next week. && .AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night/ Issued at 1124 PM CST Thu Jan 9 2020 Quiet weather overnight. VFR conditions will continue through early Friday afternoon. Cloud cover will begin to increase mid through late afternoon. Snow showers expected to spread across Iowa Friday Night. IFR visibilities possible at DSM during time of heaviest snow. As of the 06z TAF issuance, there is still some uncertainty regarding the snow rates and exact impacts on visibility. Recent model trends indicate a more robust snow band. Most of these impacts will occur in the last 6 hours of the 06z TAF period. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
