    2/28 Iowa Weather: Winter Weather Advisory
    Feb 28 2026
    Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. A narrow band of snow is sliding through southern Minnesota right now. and it's just barely clipping Iowa's northern edge. If you're near the Minnesota border — Estherville. Mason City — you might see light flurries this morning. We're talking under an inch. The rest of the state? Completely dry. In the next 24 hours. Step outside and you're looking at temperatures in the mid to upper 20s. Western Iowa starts coldest at 25 degrees. Central Iowa sits at 29. The Quad Cities wake up to 26. All under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. Today's high temperatures tell an interesting story. Western Iowa climbs to 46 degrees — the warmest spot in the state. Sunny skies and a light southerly breeze get you there. Central Iowa hits 45 with mostly sunny conditions. The Quad Cities reach 41 under mostly cloudy skies. Eastern Iowa lands at 38 with partly sunny skies and maybe a few flurries between 8 A.M. and 10 A.M. — but most of you stay dry. Tonight, temperatures plunge. Western Iowa drops to 14 degrees. Central Iowa falls to 19. Eastern Iowa hits 17. The Quad Cities settle at 20. Sunday brings mostly cloudy skies statewide. Highs range from 31 in western Iowa to 36 in the Quad Cities. Southern Iowa has a slight chance of light snow — under half an inch possible. Most of the state stays dry again. Sunday night into Monday, a weak system tries to push north from Missouri. Southern counties near the border might see an inch of snow. Tuesday onward, everything changes. Southwesterly flow takes over. Temperatures surge into the 50s, possibly hitting 60 by late week. Rain moves in. Thunderstorms become possible. Spring-like weather settles in for the rest of the week. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

  • Dense Fog Advisory | Iowa Weather

    Dense Fog Advisory | Iowa Weather
    Feb 26 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Iowa Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th. Step outside and you'll feel 26 degrees with a bite. But hold on.. Because by this afternoon, you're hitting 49. That's a 23 degrees climb in just a few hours. Western Iowa, you're the star of the show today. Starting at 24 degrees this morning, you'll surge all the way to 59 by mid-afternoon. That's shorts weather if you're brave enough. Central Iowa, you're at 26 now and headed to 49. Eastern Iowa and the Quad Cities wake up coolest at 22, but you'll still reach the upper 40s. One thing to watch: dense fog is hugging northwestern Iowa and the Minnesota border this morning. If you're driving early, slow down. Visibility drops fast. The fog should burn off by mid-morning as southwest winds pick up. Tonight stays mild. Lows around 30 degrees statewide under mostly clear skies. Friday pushes even warmer.. Upper 50s to mid 60s across the state. Western Iowa could touch 64. But breezy west winds gusting to 30 miles an hour will keep it from feeling quite that warm. Saturday cools off. Highs in the mid to upper 30s. Northern Iowa has a slight chance of light snow, but most of us stay dry. Sunday is the one to watch. A system approaches with snow likely across central and eastern Iowa. We could see 1 to 3 inches in some spots. The track is still uncertain, so I'll keep you posted. Monday and Tuesday bring mostly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. Another rain and snow mix arrives late Monday into Tuesday. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

  • Feels Like 10 Degrees | Iowa Weather

    Feels Like 10 Degrees | Iowa Weather
    Feb 25 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Iowa Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th. That crisp blue sky you're seeing right now? Don't get too attached. Snow's coming. And it's going to mess with your evening plans. Out west, you're up first. Snow starts rolling in around noon and peaks at 3 P.M. Des Moines hits 37 degrees by 2 P.M. before things get messy. The good news? Barely any accumulation. Think dusting, not disaster. Central Iowa, you're in the thick of it. Snow develops by 4 P.M. and peaks around 6 P.M. — right when you're trying to get home. Expect 1 to 2 inches by morning. Highs reach 33 degrees around 2 P.M. Not terrible, but those roads are going to be slick. Eastern Iowa gets a later start. Snow holds off until 8 P.M., peaking around 9 P.M. Highs hit 32 degrees by 4 P.M. But here's the kicker.. It'll feel like 10 degrees at 8 A.M. That's the kind of cold that makes your coffee freeze on the walk to the car. Quad Cities, you're last in line. Snow runs from 9 P.M. to midnight, peaking around 10 P.M. Highs climb to 38 degrees by 4 P.M. Now here's where it gets interesting. Thursday and Friday bring a serious warm-up. Western Iowa could hit 58 degrees Thursday. Friday sees highs in the upper 50s to low 60s statewide. That's 15 degrees above normal for late February. Winter's identity crisis continues. But don't pack away the parka yet. Another system arrives Sunday with snow and highs back in the upper 20s to low 30s. Today's sunrise is at 6:57 A.M. Sunset at 6:01 P.M. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight each day now. Drive carefully tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
