Tony Schumacher says:

Low pressure in northwest Iowa Monday will continue to produce light snow around here through early Tuesday with another 1 to 3" of accumulation expected. It appears the heavier totals will be in the western and southern part of our listening area and that's where weather advisories are in effect. In fact storm totals could exceed 8" in parts of west central through southern parts of the state. It will turn colder behind this system Tuesday through Thursday. At least quite a bit of sunshine will return by Wednesday. At this point it is looking mainly dry from Wednesday right through the upcoming weekend with slight warming again by the weekend. Drive carefully.
