A winter-like pattern will continue over much of the Lower 48 over the next few days, with snow stretching from the Rockies today into the Middle Mississippi Valley on Monday. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along the Gulf Coast and Southeast on Monday. As the storm moves northward late Monday into Tuesday, winter weather is possible from the Central Appalachians to Interior New England. Read More >

 

 Overview 

All of eastern Iowa, northwest Illinois and northeast saw the first snow of the season yesterday and today as a robust storm system tracked across the region. Snow primarily fell from Saturday evening through midday Sunday, and tapered off by early Sunday afternoon. While some additional light snow showers fell Sunday afternoon, these provided little in the way of addition impacts or accumulation.

Snowfall totals ranged from about 1-3 inches for most, with localized higher amounts around or a little over 4 inches observed in banding that developed across northeast Missouri into eastern Iowa. This lead to snow covered roads and significantly reduced visibility, impacting those traveling from Thanksgiving festivities.
