Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1137 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 ...Updated for the 18z Aviation Discussion... .KEY MESSAGES... - Cold and dry conditions through Thanksgiving and the first half of Friday. - Snow moves into the area Friday late afternoon and evening, continuing through Saturday before tapering off overnight Saturday. Widespread impactful snow is expected with travel impacts likely this weekend. - Bitter cold settles in Sunday and early next week with highs in the teens to low 20s and lows in the single digits to near/below 0 degrees. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 408 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 A quiet but chilly day is in store for Thanksgiving today as high pressure remains over the region. High temperatures today are expected to top out in the upper 20s north to mid 30s south, with partly to mostly sunny skies and slightly breezy winds gusting to 20- 25 mph out of the northwest. While Friday starts out dry and quiet, a mid-level trough and associated system is still on track to pass southeastward out of the northwestern CONUS and into the Central Plains by Friday evening into the start of weekend. Moderate warm air advection ahead of this system along with a rather strong push of mid and low-level moisture is expected into Iowa Friday afternoon and especially by the evening into Saturday morning, paired with favorable forcing for efficient lift over the area. This will result in increasing snow chances (70- 90%) Friday evening into Saturday from west to east, becoming widespread across Iowa Saturday where highest probabilities are expected (90-100%). By Saturday, the deformation zone along with a band of frontogenetical forcing is expected to setup over Iowa, while deepening of the surface low occurs just to the east. In terms of latest trends, the shift of the system southward per the most recent guidance continues to push the rain-snow line further south, now near the IA/MO border if not just beyond this. However, particularly over southwest Iowa, a rather deep isothermal layer near to just above freezing has introduced the potential for freezing rain and therefore a minor ice accumulation possibility, so this change is reflected in the current forecast. The southward shift in this system also means that overall probabilities for higher snowfall accumulations have also shifted southward. More specifically, ensemble guidance now has all of Iowa in a 50% chance or higher of 4 inches or more over, with similar probabilities for all areas except far southeast Iowa for 6+ inches. The highest chances (>90%) generally remain north of I-80 as of this morning. As the overall confidence on widespread significant accumulating snow continues to grow as the event nears, coordination with surrounding offices has led to the issuance of a Winter Storm Watch across the entire CWA, starting Friday evening all the way through early Sunday. Significant travel impacts will occur with these forecast snow amounts, so please be extra cautions and consider altering any travel plans as widespread hazardous conditions are likely. As the system slowly departs late Saturday and especially Sunday morning, snowfall is expected to gradually diminish, though lingering travel impacts are expected to remain given these snowfall amounts and resulting snow cleanup. High pressure out of Canada will arrive following this departing system, which will bring an even colder airmass with it, resulting in frigid temperatures through early next week as highs are expected in the teens to 20s, while lows fall in the single digits and even near to below zero in northern Iowa. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/... Issued at 1135 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 Short term challenge is the MVFR stratus covering northern sites at the TAF issuance time. Delayed improvements until after 00z. Confidence not high this reaches KDSM, but left a FEW deck to account for the possibility. Stratus will be replaced by midlevel clouds with cigs between 10-20kft overnight. A wind shift happens for KFOD and KDSM near the end of the TAF period. Snow timing looks to be after 18z, so this will begin to be covered in the next issuance. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
