There is a slight chance especially in extreme SE Iowa of some snow mixing with sleet for a time.

Temperatures will be in the 20s to around 30 through the weekend before the next storm moves in early next week. Another 1-3 inch or more snowfall is forecast Monday into Tuesday. After that another outbreak of bitterly cold weather will sweep into the state for the rest of the upcoming week. Highs will likely struggle into the teens with nighttime lows in the single digits above and below zero.
