DES MOINES, Iowa—The National Weather Service office in Des Moines has provided some updated expectations for the potential winter weather issues over the next couple of days. A quick shot of mixed precipitation is expected early Friday, then a more widespread and significant event later this weekend. Much of Iowa will receive precipitation, especially in the second round. Highest chances for snow, ice, and winter impacts will be across northern Iowa in both events, with rain and thunderstorms more likely toward the south.
