Some portions of the metro have seen their roads become partially covered with snow! Take it a little slower if you're planning on hitting the road soon.

Another frigid morning ahead Thursday before we warm back above freezing by the weekend. If you're a snow lover you won't be a fan of the next week.

01/22/2025

Who's ready for a warmup?!
It may be brief but our temperatures are already much warmer than they were this time yesterday. Temperatures will continue to climb overnight and will eventually bump up near freezing! This will come with a light shot of snow tomorrow starting in the morning and continuing intermittently through the early evening. Totals will be on the light side with most seeing less than an inch. Colder weather roars back by Thursday morning but after that we've bot another warm up that'll send us into the 40s by early next week!

Here we go again. We've got a trio of arctic days ahead of us Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. PLEASE stay safe in this dangerous cold. All the more incentive to get outside tomorrow when we'll be near 50°!

01/15/2025

With the -1° temperature in Des Moines this morning Des Moines ended our 6th longest stretch of days without a below zero temperature... coming in at 358 straight days. The longest stretch? 710 days that ended January 20th, 2013

01/15/2025

We're not far away from warmer air! How's mid-40s sound? We'll be there in a few days!

01/14/2025

Another frigid start to the day, Wednesday. We'll be slightly warmer than this morning, but plan on wind chills below zero greeting you again as you head out the door.

01/14/2025

We keep gaining daylight! By next Friday we'll have gained 18 minutes compared today!

01/14/2025

Just a dusting or less for most, but the snow did add up in a few places.

Some saw accumulation Monday night in parts of the state.

01/14/2025

Hwy 20 near Fort Dodge is looking a touch snowy this evening. We've got a quick burst of snow moving through. Some areas may see as much as an inch. Please take it slower if you plan to be on the roads tonight.

01/13/2025

We're cold, but not to the extent of last year at this time!

Another frigid morning headed our way tomorrow

01/07/2025

So far Des Moines has only picked up 4.2" of snow., tied for 26th least snow to date. We're currently 8.5" below average for this time of year and don't have a lot in the pipeline to help. With that said, we could be one or two good snows away from getting back to average.

01/06/2025

We've got more cold on the way! Wednesday morning we'll be dealing with Wind Chills below zero. A warmup is headed our way by the weekend though with temperatures back near freezing!

This weekend's weather in Iowa was a good example of radar's limitations.

Sunday was a day when the radar would not have told the whole story of Iowa's weather.
