We love seeing local emergency services in the classroom to share knowledge and having local agencies supporting students! Great work!

Winter weather alert again!

🌨️❄️ Snowfall Potential Across Iowa ❄️🌨️

The National Weather Service in Des Moines is highlighting a 1 in 10 chance (10%) of higher snowfall totals from Tuesday morning through Friday morning.

📅 Valid: 6 AM Tuesday (Feb 17) – 6 AM Friday (Feb 20)

🔵 Northwest Iowa has the greatest potential for higher-end totals, where localized amounts could climb into the 4–8 inch range if everything lines up just right.
🔵 Central Iowa generally looking at lighter totals, with many areas around ½ to 3 inches on the higher-end scenario.
🔵 Southeast Iowa may see little accumulation in this setup.

⚠️ Remember — this is the high-end potential (about a 10% chance). Most areas will likely see lower totals, but we’ll continue to fine-tune the forecast as new data comes in.

Stay with WeatherIowa — Iowa’s Winter Weather Information Leader — for updates as we track this system! 🌬️🌨️
