It was November when the last system took aim at central Iowa, and this one is a good one! Expect a snowy Saturday across Iowa.

A large upper low will be pulling out of Kansas and heading through central Missouri today placing central Iowa on the snowy side of this storm. Track the snow bands as they set up in central Iowa with ESP:LIVE radar. Snow will steadily accumulate throughout the day and a general 3-5 in central Iowa with 5-10 in SW and west central Iowa. Eastern Iowa might luck out with a trace to 2" in the grass meanwhile the Omaha area could see amounts approach one foot. Here's a look at the advisories from the National Weather Service:

| Winter Storm Warnings in effect for central and western Iowa. More info on the NWS homepage here |
Wind speeds will steadily pick up and that could cause some blowing and drifting of the snow throughout the day but the heavy/wet nature of this snow will limit that. More good news is temperatures are around/above freezing and treated roads in central and eastern Iowa should be slushy for much of the day.
