(IowaStormCenter.com) — A Long Range Weather Advisory has been issued ahead of an active precipitation pattern that will return at the end of October and through the start of November.
The pattern change will come with a strong pacific storm system around Oct. 30-31. This will lead to an increase in shower/thunderstorm chances and heavy rainfall potential across the forecast area.
Areas across the Dakota’s may see their first snowflakes if enough cold air can wrap around the backside of the system in conjunction with the moisture column.
Iowa Storm Center long range numbers indicate a second warm system following around Nov. 1-4. Then a brief quiet pattern will return ahead of an active storm track around the middle to latter half of November.
Additional updates to follow in the near term.
