CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST...AND SHOULD RUN ACROSS THE QUAD CITIES
HERE BETWEEN ABOUT 8 AND 10 AM IF THEY HANG TOGETHER. OTHER RADAR
RETURNS HAVE BLOSSOMED OVER THE FAIRFIELD AREA...AN EXTENSION OF
THE CEDAR RAPIDS AREA WITH THE DEFINITE LOOK OF A WARM AIR
ADVECTION WING AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM DROPPING OUT OF MINNESOTA. HAVE
EXPANDED AN AREA OF FLURRIES TO ENCOMPASS ALL BUT THE MISSOURI
COUNTIES...AND AREAS THAT DID NOT ALREADY HAVE MEASURABLE POPS FOR
SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING. ALSO...THE CLOUD COVER REALLY KEPT THIS
MORNINGS TEMPERATURES UP...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. WHERE
A CLEAR SLOT FORMED...TEMPERATURES DROPPED DOWN INTO THE LOW
20S...BUT ELSEWHERE IT REMAINED IN THE LOW 30S. IN THE CLOUDY
AREAS RAISED MAX TEMPS A LITTLE TO ALLOW FOR A LITTLE MORE ROOM
TO WARM UP BEFORE THE REAL COLD AIR DUMPS ON IN HERE LATER TODAY.
