'25-'26 Winter Storm #15
Posted: 03 Feb 2026 08:13 AM, Views: 627Tags: winter2526
A compact system dumped a quick inch or two of snowfall over eastern Iowa on Monday evening and into early Tuesday morning. The featured map analysis of available NWS and CoCoRaHS reports shows the largest snowfall totals around two inches found from Cedar Rapids to Davenport. These maps attempt to only show areas that received measurable snowfall, so trace amounts of snowfall are not included. Temperatures are still forecast to nicely warm later this week and any of the meager recently accumulated snowfall over the state will soon be gone.
