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 Jan 1, 2:43 PM CST, 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 1, 2:43 PM CST, 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 243 PM CST Sat Jan 1 2022 .DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Saturday/ Issued at 242 PM CST Sat Jan 1 2022 Key Messages: - Winter Storm gradually ending into this evening. - Arctic cold and dangerous wind chills through Sunday morning. - Another round of Arctic cold likely by mid to late next week. Surface low pressure is moving across southern Missouri today with an areas of snow ongoing across a large portion of southern Iowa and moving into parts of central Iowa. Brisk northern winds originating from Arctic high pressure that is situated over the Dakotas and northern Minnesota, has funneled dry and very cold air into northern Iowa with temperatures currently in the single digits below zero and dew points in the 5 below to 15 below range. This dry air has been slowing the northern expansion of the snow and delayed the onset of snow into central Iowa including the Des Moines metro. A moderate to heavy band of snow has since setup from near Cedar Rapids to Toledo and back southwest through the Des Moines metro and towards Atlantic. Any accumulations north of this band will likely remain an inch or less, while 2 to 5 inches are expected near this band and higher amounts to the south where snow has been ongoing for a longer period. Polk County and the Des Moines metro still could end up with a tight gradient as well from around 1 inch over the northwest to 3 to 5 inches far southeast. The current heavier band should last through 3-4 pm before the forcing settles back to the southeast and much of the accumulating snow will be done by 6 pm or shortly after except the far southeast where light accumulating snow could linger towards 9 pm. Several accidents are beginning to occur as even the light snow is resulting in very slick roadways and combined with the Arctic cold and dangerous wind chills, it is not a good situation to become stranded. While much of the public continues to focus on the snowfall totals, it is the impacts as to why the warning headlines are out with the poor travel conditions and the dangerous cold. Brutal wind chill conditions overnight as the Arctic cold continues to spill into the state. Sky conditions will clear overnight and it is possible that parts of northwest Iowa have the winds decouple and diminish as high pressure approaches from the west, so temperatures could fall there though certainly the lack of snow won't help temperatures plummet. Otherwise, the wind should remain high enough combined with temperatures 10 to 15 below zero, to create wind chill values in the 30 to 35 below range over parts of northern Iowa. Therefore, will be upgrading to a Wind Chill warning in those areas with a Wind Chill advisory for the rest of the area. The wind chill headlines will run through noon on Sunday. Sunday will be mostly sunny but cold with highs in the single digits above zero to the teens. The upper flow will become more zonal to start the week with the surface flow becoming southerly on the back side of the departing high by Sunday night. This will lead to a warmer Monday and Tuesday with temperatures rising above freezing for areas without new snow cover but a bit tempered where there is snow. Another push of Arctic cold arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday and this could be accompanied by some light snow and quite possible another round of wind chill headlines. && .AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon/ Issued at 1126 AM CST Sat Jan 1 2022 MVFR and lower conditions are expected across central and southern Iowa today including KDSM/KOTM where lowering cigs and snow will occur. Conditions will remain mostly MVFR though a brief period of snow is possible at KFOD/KALO. Otherwise improving conditions overnight with clearing and widespread VFR on Sunday. Gusty northerly wind today will diminish overnight. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Warning until midnight CST tonight for IAZ050- 057>062-070>075-081>086-092>097.
