What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Jan 11, 12:10 PM CST, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- A long-duration, strong winter storm will affect the area starting tonight into Saturday morning. Accumulating snow and strong winds are expected leading to significant blowing and drifting of snow.
- Near blizzard conditions are expected later Friday and into Saturday morning across the area. If confidence increases, a blizzard warning may be needed for later Friday into Saturday for portions of the Winter Storm Warning.
- Very cold air moves into the area this weekend and to start next week as temperatures may struggle to reach above zero during the day on Sunday and Monday.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 157 AM CST Thu Jan 11 2024
Quiet weather is expected today with mostly cloudy skies. Highs
in the 20s are expected area-wide.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 157 AM CST Thu Jan 11 2024
Active long term period with high impact weather through the
start of next work week is expected. Another strong winter storm
is expected to impact the area starting late tonight and lasting
into Saturday morning. While accumulating snow should drop off
after midnight Saturday morning, strong winds will lead to
significant blowing and drifting of snow. Near blizzard
conditions are expected across large portions of the area and a
blizzard warning may be needed for portions of the area later
Friday and into Saturday.
Storm Track:
In what seems to be deja vu for me in this string of shifts,
there remains large differences in low tracks between the
NAM/CAMs and the global models and their ensemble systems. This
is similar to the last system we just went through. In that
case, the NAM was too far north and the globals were a little
further south. Splitting the difference between the two seemed
to be the better of both solutions. While this is a stronger
system, the warm sector could pull further north as seems to
happen with these systems. That said, I still believe the NAM is
too far north. Main implications of these differences are how
far north rain/fzra gets and then cutting into snow totals
before the CAA kicks. I do believe that even if areas get less
snow, the winds on the back side later on Friday will lead to
winter storm impacts across the majority of the area. This is
regardless of storm track differences. So, still not a consensus
on storm track but still very impactful regardless.
Timing of major events:
There are three parts of this storm. The first is an overnight
WAA band of snow like the last one. This could drop 3 to 5
inches of snow across portions of the area. CAMs have convective
elements right on the edge of the rain shield towards the warm
sector. This suggests that we could see convective snow again.
The HREF does not have much from a 1 inch an hr rate, so less
confidence here than previous event. These convective elements
could lead to maybe some graupel of localized higher snowfall
rates. There may be a lull on heavier snow during the day as
rain/fzra mixes in. The second part of this system is the colder
air moving in along with the wraparound precip. This will lead
to higher snow ratios and little more fluffy than earlier in
the storm. At the same time winds increase. Looking at model
soundings, there are some deep DGZs in the colder air. As winds
increase to near 50 mph gusts, expected considerable blowing and
drifting of snow. The main question is whether or not we can
break the top layer of snow that is frozen releasing the snow
beneath it to start flying around as well. If we can do that
along with snow falling we will likely have near whiteout and
blizzard conditions lasting overnight. Drifting of snow from the
wind could last well into Saturday morning making clearing of
roads difficult. At the same time temperatures drop to the point
where salt no longer works on roadways and the road crews need
to change to different solutions.
Snow Totals:
Snow totals will remain tricky especially along and south of
Interstate 80 after 12z Friday. Before 12z, I think our current
forecast of 2 to 5 inches looks like a good bet. All the
guidance has a range similar to this. After this, the warm
sector starts to get closer to the area. This where snow amts
may be different due to more rain/snow. Areas north of highway
30 are probably not going to see rain. After this, colder air
moves in and out ratios go to about 13:1. Our totals of 5-11 are
similar to all guidance save the GFS which is much higher. From
a probability perspective, the entire warning area has about an
80% chance or greater of seeing 4 inches total. 6 inch snow
total probs run from 60% to 80% across the warning area and over
8" is 40% to 60%. So not as high as the last storm when it comes
to 6 inches or more, but again, the blowing and drifting of snow
make for quite the impactful storm.
Saturday Afternoon On:
The coldest air of the season is expected to advect into the
region with highs only in the single digits above and below zero
from Sunday through Tuesday and lows well below zero. We'll
have to watch for wind chills hitting headline criteria (20
below or colder) at times from Saturday night into early next
week.

The incoming precip shield will be the big factor in
deteriorating conditions later tonight into Friday morning.
Heavy snow band to bring IFR to LIFR snows sweeping up from the

Friday will be unfavorable flying day to say the least.
