More than 3 inches of snow to diminish

Weather to reach 50s by weekend

Central Iowa saw more than 3 inches of snow over the weekend along with chilly temperatures, which are predicted to move out by the end of the week.

Following a winter weather advisory for Jasper County, roads were completely covered Monday morning, causing a slower commute. The winter weather advisory ended at 1 p.m. Monday.

High pressure will bring a brisk wind chill, with the coldest morning likely Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Let the melting begin by Thursday as highs rise into the lower 50s.

Warmer temperatures are forecast through the weekend with Sunday likely to be in the 50s to lower 60s across much of the state.

The northern part of the state received the most snowfall with Waterloo seeing 10 inches and 8 inches in Hampton.

Last Monday, temperatures reached 70 degrees just before severe thunderstorms and tornadoes hit parts of Central Iowa, which damaged property. The first day of spring is March 20.
