Channel 9 Eyewitness News Weather

A DENSE FOG ADVISORY is in effect for Osceola, O'Brien, Cherokee, Ida, Sac, Buena Vista, Clay Dickinson, Emmett, and Palo Alto counties until 6 PM Wednesday, and for Crawford county until noon. Visibilities will be between zero and a quarter mile at times.  Please travel with care and use your low-beam headlights. 

 

Rain continues this morning as the first low pressure system exits the area and dissipates. Showers will end from south to north this afternoon, with highs today in the upper 30s and lower 40s.

 

Overnight, system number two will pull into the area, giving us a chance for precipitation to start off our Thursday. Overnight lows will hover right around the freezing mark, which means we could see a wintry mix along with rain.

 

The center of low pressure will take it's time moving through, dragging out our rain chances through the day on Friday. Western parts of Siouxland have a better chance of seeing some snow mixed in, but most of it should fall as rain. With all this moisture headed our way, flooding is a distinct possibility. Stay tuned to Channel 9 Eyewitness News and AccuWeather 9 for more information as it develops.

 

Fortunately, things should start drying out for the weekend, with highs back up where they should be for this time of year.

 

Stay Dry!
