AND MISSOURI.

.DAY ONE...

...LIGHT ACCUMULATING SNOWS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE WEST
TODAY...AS A COLD DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST. AS THIS DISTURBANCE RIPPLES ALONG
THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF INCOMING COLD AIR...IT WILL PRODUCE SNOW OVER
MUCH OF THE AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT APPEARS THAT THE
SPEED OF THE SYSTEM AND SUBSEQUENT GLANCING BLOW OF FORCING...AS WELL
AS LIMITED MOISTURE...WILL MAKE FOR ONLY A LIGHT SNOW EVENT. SNOW
AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE BY MID SUNDAY EVENING...
ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 TO ALONG THE IOWA AND MISSOURI
BORDER. NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80...AMOUNTS WILL TAPER OFF TO AROUND AN
INCH UP TO AND ALONG HIGHWAY 20. ALTHOUGH SOME FLURRIES MAY BE SEEN
BY LATE MORNING...THE LIGHT ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL NOT COMMENCE UNTIL
EARLY AFTERNOON WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...AND AFTER 3 PM TO THE
EAST OF THE RIVER. THE SNOW WILL TAPER TO FLURRIES AROUND 6 PM TO THE
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI...AND BY 8 PM TO THE EAST OF THE RIVER. AN
ENHANCED AREA OF LIFT AND FORCING MAY PRODUCE LOCALIZED 3 INCH
AMOUNTS ALONG A PATH FROM JUST NORTH OF WAPELLO IOWA...TO PRINCETON
ILLINOIS.


.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NECESSARY TODAY OR TONIGHT.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...
THE CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL KEEP UNSEASONABLY COLD
CONDITIONS IN THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK...WITH ANOTHER DISTURBANCE
DROPPING ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND CREATING A CHANCE OF SNOW ON
TUESDAY.

...UPCOMING HOLIDAY OUTLOOK...
LOOKING AHEAD TO THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING...IT LOOKS LIKE
DRY TRAVEL CONDITIONS ACROSS EASTERN IOWA AND NORTHWEST ILLINOIS...AS
SNOW PRODUCING SYSTEMS PASS WELL TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE LOCAL
AREA. AS FOR THANKSGIVING DAY...A WEAK DISTURBANCE MAY CREATE SOME
LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES ACROSS THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE
MODERATING INTO THE MID 30S...ALLOWING SOME RAIN SPRINKLES TO MIX IN
WITH THE SNOW. THE DISTURBANCE CREATING THE CHANCE FOR THE TURKEY DAY
PRECIPITATION...WILL BE CLEAR OF THE AREA FOR A DRY FRIDAY.
