Good morning! Great day ahead for most of the region, and dry weather should continue into tomorrow evening. A disturbance will zip from west to east Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, bringing isolated, light areas of drizzle/freezing drizzle, or flurries, mainly north. Worth noting as the system works east across Iowa, precipitation becomes a bit more expansive, and I think we can see an area of light snow accumulations late Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Here is the forecast radar from 2pm Tuesday to 6pm Wednesday CST:
Total precipitation through 7pm Wednesday:
I think a small band of 1-3″ snow could fall somewhere in northeast Iowa Wednesday morning. Here is the latest thinking from the hi-res NAM data. I think this is reasonable, but just need to nail down exact placement.
Our next system brings greatest impacts to the southern/southeast portions of the region Thursday through Friday. More details in the video forecast. Right now next weekend looks dry and mild!
Here is the total precipitation over the next 7-days. Quite dry for most of Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska, with several areas not seeing any precipitation this week. Missouri will be the exception with widespread rainfall expected later this week.

Wind forecast over the next 4 days: No widespread wind concerns through Wednesday. Breezier conditions will be found in the western Plains Tuesday & Wednesday. Signal for a lot of wind in the southern Plains Wednesday night-Thursday night. Southern Kansas may see gusts 40-50 mph Thursday.
