More Light Snow

It's not a huge impact storm but light snow is looking likely for parts of the area on Thursday...especially North of the Quad Cities.  In the metro area we're looking at a dusting up to about 1" with up to 2" possible around Galena, Maquoketa and North of Sterling.

Timing - the best chance for snow in the Quad cities is from late morning through early afternoon...

CBS4 Snow Forecast
Saturday offers another chance for snow, and a chance for heavier accumulations!  A storm will be forming South of the Quad Cities this weekend and it looks like it will dump some heavier snows to areas South of the Quad Cities and possibly into portions of the metro area.  Check out this plot of some of the American weather models snow forecast for the next 7 days.  Notice the little spikes early on, with the possibility of heavier snow this weekend! 

If you're new to the weather model game remember the time translation, 18z Thursday translates to Noon Thursday in the Quad Cities...
