Scott26 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 The beginnings of the squall line developing over NE IA... Edit: Looks like it has a beeline for NE ILYup latest RAP definitely shifted the heaviest snow showers further north. Should be an interesting night with the strong winds and heavy snow showers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
