A compact and quick moving winter storm dumped a stripe of two to four inches on Thursday between roughly Sioux City to Davenport. The featured map presents an analysis of mostly NWS Local Storm Reports as much of the once-daily COOP data will be arriving Friday morning. So the map will be updated once those additional reports arrive along with any CoCoRaHS reports. The map also plots the three Snow Squall Warnings polygons issued by NWS Des Moines as intense snowfall rates impacted the morning work commute. Attention is quickly turning to a much larger storm complex forecast to arrive late this weekend, with the largest snowfall totals forecast to clip southern Iowa along with a sharp gradient in totals to the north.
