What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory 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 weather advisory went out at Jan 14, 3:28 AM CST, 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 14, 3:28 AM CST, 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
328 AM CST Thu Jan 14 2021

...Blizzard Conditions This Evening into Friday...

.SHORT TERM.../Today through Friday/
Issued at 328 AM CST Thu Jan 14 2021

Confidence: Medium to High

Key Points...rapidly deepening low pressure this afternoon and
tonight will take a very rare path across Iowa and the Middle
Mississippi River Valley resulting in heavy snow and persistent
strong winds especially west of the I35 corridor late tonight and
Friday resulting in blizzard conditions for most of the overnight
hours and Friday.  Along the I35 corridor, the winds may be
strongest from 4 am to about 8 am Friday and then weaken at times
through midday and then increasing again in the afternoon as the
system pulls southeast. This will result in intermittent blizzard
conditions from north central to southern Iowa along the I35
corridor during Friday. In this area we will continue to monitor
that aspect of the upcoming event.

Main concern this morning will be a period of light rain moving into
the area along the first pacific front. Though there may be some
snow mixed at times northwest toward the noon hour into the
afternoon, most of the north will receive light rain and possibly a
short period of light freezing rain northeast.  With warmer air at
the surface tracking east with the front, impacts are not expected
to be that great this morning. Tonight the main upper level low will
amplify as colder air wraps into the system. The surface low is
expected to be between Moline and LaCrosse by 00z and then consolidate
over the next 6 hours in southwest Wisconsin. Over the next 12
hours the storm will actually pivot and back into eastern Iowa
taking the nearly stacked upper low back into our area as
well...providing for a prolonged period of more or less continuous
light snow with about +2 inches every 6 hours. Though the system
will fill with time and weaken, the strong H850 winds on the back
side will remain strong in a zone of moderate cold air advection
from this evening into Friday morning. Some weak warm air
advection will propagate around the system and move south which
will weaken the wind gusts a bit with time Friday. Also, the
strongest winds will remain on the backside of the low at the sfc,
so as the low backs west tomorrow...the blizzard conditions will
tend to move west as the low wobbles a bit. Winds will reach 35 to
45 mph at times west and about 25 to 35 mph in the winter storm
warning area. The advisory area will see winds of 15 to 25 mph at
times. This is the reason for the winter wx advisories/buffer of
winter storm warnings/and then blizzard warnings west. We expect
that the buffer counties where winter storm warnings are currently
in effect will see near to blizzard conditions early Friday
morning during the pre- dawn hours; part of the morning commute...
then lessening winds during the remainder of the morning into the
early afternoon. There is a signature for sfc wind gusts to
increase again above 30kt in the afternoon toward the 3 pm to 6 pm
hour so this area may again see some challenges then. Though the
bulk of the storm will be over by 00z Saturday; some lingering
light snow and weaker wind will linger toward 06z. Most likely
this period will be handled by a weather statement. Snowfall
amounts will vary quite a bit, but generally with expected qpf of
0.30 to nearly 1 inch in the far north, snowfall amounts of 2 to 4
inches near the IA-MO border to up to 8 or more inches north will
be likely. The I35 corridor may be favored for a spike of 5 to 6
inches depending on the eventual wobbling track of the system as
it edges southeast Friday afternoon.

.LONG TERM.../Friday Night through Wednesday/
Issued at 328 AM CST Thu Jan 14 2021

Confidence: Medium

Overall the remainder of the forecast will be quieter, but we have a
couple of weak northwest flow systems tracking southeast late
Saturday night into Sunday and again Monday into Monday night. Each
may deposit a dusting to an inch or so of snow with a quick pulse of
moderately cold air each time. Temperatures next week will range
from the 20s/30s for highs to the teens for lows. Given our
immediate concerns, will not go into much more detail for now.

&&

.AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night/
Issued at 1135 PM CST Wed Jan 13 2021

VFR conditions will deteriorate over the next several hours as a
large winter system moves into the area. Cigs will begin dropping
to MVFR during the morning hours with winds increasing shortly
thereafter. At KFOD/KDSM a period of LLWS is possible for a few
hours this morning before flow becomes unidirectional.
Precipitation will begin as -RASN with a brief lull in the
afternoon. By Thursday evening the next wave will arrive as all
snow. Combined with gusty winds, expect to see further vis
reductions to IFR. Pockets of LIFR will be possible.
