We love seeing local emergency services in the classroom to share knowledge and having local agencies supporting students! Great work!

This week we are visiting each class (preschool through 5th grade) at North Iowa to talk about age-appropriate body safety topics and online safety tips. This is one of our favorite projects that we started last year!

Thank you to Deputy Cesar Baez for joining us this year! 🚔

Winter weather alert again!

🌨️❄️ Snowfall Potential Across Iowa ❄️🌨️

The National Weather Service in Des Moines is highlighting a 1 in 10 chance (10%) of higher snowfall totals from Tuesday morning through Friday morning.

📅 Valid: 6 AM Tuesday (Feb 17) – 6 AM Friday (Feb 20)

🔵 Northwest Iowa has the greatest potential for higher-end totals, where localized amounts could climb into the 4–8 inch range if everything lines up just right.
🔵 Central Iowa generally looking at lighter totals, with many areas around ½ to 3 inches on the higher-end scenario.
🔵 Southeast Iowa may see little accumulation in this setup.

⚠️ Remember — this is the high-end potential (about a 10% chance). Most areas will likely see lower totals, but we’ll continue to fine-tune the forecast as new data comes in.

Stay with WeatherIowa — Iowa’s Winter Weather Information Leader — for updates as we track this system! 🌬️🌨️
