Early morning readings vary from near zero in the southwest to as low as 18 below in the north. Winds have become light and variable most areas as an area of high pressure moves across the state. As the high slides east, winds will pick up a bit this morning as south winds increase over the west and north. This will knock wind chills back down to 25 to 35 below over a large portion of the state early today. Wind Chill Advisories are in effect for the cold until mid morning northwest and until noon central and east. Highs today will recover to the lower teens northeast to the mid 20s to lower 30s in the far west as clouds increase ahead of a minor weather system. A weak front will pass south later this evening and overnight with a brief period of light snow or flurries across the region. A light dusting of snow, generally under an inch is expected north and east by late tonight. After lows in the single digits to upper teens tonight, Saturday will see highs recover to the mid teens northeast to the mid to upper 30s in the west. A stronger clipper system will dive southeast later Saturday afternoon and quickly move across central Iowa, bringing a quick couple of inches of snow to the northeast areas of the state Saturday evening into the overnight. Roads will become snow covered in those areas and some travel impacts are anticipated. Lows Saturday night will drop to near zero in the far north with teens to lower 20s in the south. Another chance of light snow will graze northeast Iowa Sunday night, but only a dusting is anticipated. Early next week temperatures will moderate to the 20s to lower 40s Monday, but another Arctic blast arrives for Tuesday with highs back to the single digits and teens with overnight lows hitting 10 to 20 below over a large area of the state by Wednesday morning. Thursday looks milder as highs reach the 20s northeast to the 40s southwest once again. $$ REV
