A powerful winter storm brings blizzard conditions and dangerous cold to both southeast Iowa and northeast Missouri to start the week, with blowing snow and strong winds lingering into Monday. Temperatures remain well below normal through Tuesday before a rapid warm‑up arrives midweek. By Wednesday, sunshine and southerly winds push highs into the 50s, followed by even warmer weather Thursday and an early‑spring surge into the upper 70s to near 80 degrees on Friday. The weekend turns cooler but stays mostly quiet, with highs in the 50s on Saturday and low 50s on Sunday along with a slight chance of light showers late in the day. Overall, the region transitions from harsh winter impacts to a brief taste of spring before settling back into seasonable conditions.
