Iowa is bracing for a significant drop in temperatures as cold weather sets in, accompanied by potential snowfall this weekend. According to reports from KCCI, KCRG, and KWWL, temperatures are expected to plummet, with daytime highs only reaching the mid-20s Fahrenheit. Snow begins late Saturday and could continue through Sunday morning. The snowfall amounts are projected to vary, with estimates ranging from 1 to 4 inches across different regions of the state. Meteorologists warn that travel conditions could become hazardous due to slippery roads and reduced visibility during the snow accumulation. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for several counties. One local resident mentioned, ‘We’re just getting used to the cold, now more snow is coming. It’s definitely a reminder that winter is here.’ The cold front follows an unusually mild start to the winter season, leading to discussions on climate variability across Iowa.
