QUIET END: The last days of 2011 will end on a quiet note across the state with little if any precipitation chances through the time period. Temperatures will be at or above seasonal norms with 30s and 40s across the state.

INTO 2012: Even into the new year, this model run continues to show tranquil weather with some slight chances of some snow showers but nothing that’ll accumulate enough for skiing and snowmobiling and the like. Nor is there a shot of cold arctic weather from the north. It’s bound to come sooner or later, it’s just not seen on this model run at this time.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all from the Iowa Weather Blog Family.
