dubuque473 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Sounds like North of Highway 30 we may miss most of the ice. DVN with a nice write up: 1. Winter storm conditions will arrive early this afternoon with heavy snow in eastern Iowa, then spread over the rest of our area by 3 PM or so. Heavy snow will continue through the evening along and north of Highway 30. 2. A transition from heavy snow to sleet and freezing rain will arrive in southern counties toward the 4 to 5 pm window, with little snow accumulation after that, but that will begin a period of icing, with one to two tenths of an inch possible. 3. The mix of sleet and freezing rain will likely reach the Interstate 80 corridor by 6 to 8 PM, which will begin to limit snow accumulation, but may offer serious travel problems as precipitation may be quite heavy, and temperatures still in the mid to upper 20s. Travel along Interstate 80 in Iowa is expected to be dangerous this evening! 4. Towards Midnight, the precipitation intensity should shift east and decrease. As it does so, snow rates in the north will become lighter, as all areas potentially lose ice aloft, we could switch over to a freezing drizzle/drizzle scenario in the overnight after 2 AM or so.

East Dubzz Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Looks like maybe the sweet spot has settled just a little south of Dubuque. Which is fine.

bud2380 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Lots of precip breaking out over central Missouri like the Canadian has been showing for days. Other models were not as robust in that area. Good sign as the WAA band moves northeast.

Grizzcoat Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Don't get many systems , but when you do it reminds you that all but the Euro and maybe a wildcard (this time the Canadian) guidance is mostly trash outside 30 hours , and in this case both the GFS and NAM are a total joke. 2 3 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
