Both the big American and European models place a heavy band of snow along highway 30 by late Friday, with as much as 10" falling there. The placement of that band could change, and even a 20-mile shift would make a big difference. Stick with KCCI for the latest updates.

Super-high dewpoint readings (and, therefore, heat indices) in western Iowa are the result of faulty and/or miscalibrated AWOS sensors in that part of the state. Dewpoints into the low 80's are likely legit. Dewpoints of 90 are certainly not. #iawx
