. @NWSQuadCities hello, at around 7:35PM local time we witnessed what appeared to be a lowering + dust swirl on the ground here looking WSW along Highway 17 near Wyoming while the Supercell was tornado warned

The official NOAA "budget request" to Congress (which is a detailed version of the "President's Budget" would be devastating, and basically end all research and development.
Purportedly, the proposal moves a lot of weather research and development under NWS, but doing so while eliminating the labs themselves and the CIs would get rid of most of the people and infrastructure that does this critical work.
Fortunately, Congress has the final say on this, so I recommend pressuring your Senators and representatives to step in and continue allocating NOAA the resources to pursue life-saving research.

Federal employees - you have rights. You do not need to just sit down and take measly severance and hope things work out for you. For as long as this document exists, take a look. Whether you were fired without cause today or not, it may help you. osc.gov/Documents/Outreach%2…
California is often the first on the board for tornadoes for a year, as they like to form beneath the cold core of big winter storms as moisture pumps N through the Sac Valley. You can wager on weather at @Kalshi if over 18 and responsible. Check it out: kalshi.com/markets/kxtornado…

Let's get past the exact amounts and take a deeper dive into this weekend's snow forecast. For more specific information, check out our forecast updates as we post them this afternoon.
ALT Map depicts zones of snow accumulation, but without specific numbers and a bit of a humorous approach...broken down into very light areas (normal January), a zone with enough snow to clear the driveway but not enough to make snow lovers happy, a narrow zone with an ideal amount of snow for a winter wonderland, and a southern zone of very heavy snow where back pain is born.

The portal has returned on the Mile Long Bridge north of Des Moines. That or it could be headlight light diffraction by falling snow. It is 1 of the 2. That said, roads are slick over central and northern Iowa with snow and sleet in the area. Image from @iowadot webcam.

This discussion will start with a brief overview of the forecast track & timing of the storm, but will mostly focus on its potential intensity, as the intensity forecast is a rather challenging one.
