This Week in Johnston Weather: Could More Snow Be Headed Our Way?

Yesterday was a quiet, sunny day in Central Iowa.

But this is Iowa, and it's like they say – this is the state where seasons don't matter.

More rain, thunderstorms, and even a chance of snow are forecast for our area through Friday, according to the National Weather Service'.

Here's a look at the timeline:

Wednesday: Showers and thunderstorms. High near 49. East wind 11 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.

Wednesday Night: Showers and thunderstorms. Low around 40. East northeast wind 7 to 14 mph becoming north northwest after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Thursday: Showers and thunderstorms likely before 4pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 45. Breezy, with a north northwest wind 16 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Thursday Night: Rain likely before 1am, then rain and snow likely between 1am and 4am, then snow likely after 4am. Some thunder is also possible. Cloudy, with a low around 33. Breezy.

Friday: Snow likely before 7am, then rain and snow likely between 7am and 1pm, then rain likely after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 40. Windy. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Ugh.

Here's what WHO Channel 13 had to say about the forecast:

Clouds will increase again Tuesday night ahead of a bigger storm system set to impact the Upper Midwest on Wednesday. This next storm will bring heavier rain and thunderstorms Wednesday through Thursday. 1 to 2" of rain is expected. Some cold enough air will work into the northwestern part of the state and result in a little light snow Thursday evening through Friday morning.

So is spring anywhere in our forecast?

According to Weather Underground, we could make our way back to the lower 60s by early next week.

Not soon enough, if you ask me.
