Des Moines, IA – Iowa residents should prepare for an active weather system Monday into Tuesday. The system will bring fog, rain, and eventually snow across the region, according to the National Weather Service in Des Moines.
Current models show rain dominating the day on Monday before transitioning to wet snow Monday evening. Meteorologists warn that central and southern Iowa could see over an inch of snow, with higher totals possible if temperatures drop quickly. A slower cooling trend could reduce snowfall amounts, but travel delays are still likely Tuesday morning.
Forecast maps indicate a 28% to 47% chance of at least one inch of snow in areas like Des Moines and Carroll. Locations further south, including Lamoni and Creston, show lower probabilities. Travelers should monitor updates, as the rain-to-snow transition timing remains uncertain.
The weather system sits in a critical temperature range, making small changes in conditions impactful. Faster cooling may lead to heavier snow, while slower cooling would result in less accumulation. Fog early Monday could further complicate travel before the rain begins.
The National Weather Service urges drivers to plan for extra time Tuesday morning. They recommend checking road conditions and being prepared for slick or icy surfaces. For the latest updates, visit weather.gov or follow the National Weather Service on social media.
