Iowa Forecast Discussion 3/9/2012

NOTE: No Video today due to being under the weather (LOL!)

SUNDAY STORM: Models are still in target for a storm system to move into the state from the southwest Sunday morning. Rainfall wil be heaviest over the east with up to a half inch of rain possible while the western counties will get a tenth of an inch or less. Temperatures will be on the way up with 50s through the weekend and then soaring into the 60s and 70s early next week.

MORE ACTIVE: The model is still showing a more active pattern heading into the latter half of the run. Especially from St. Patrick’s Day forward. Several systems will move through with decent chances of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures look to remain above average during this time with no real significant drop offs behind any of these systems. This could mean the end of any snowfall for the season across the state. We’ll have to wait and see.
