Here's KCRG's prediction:

Areas of rain, along with patchy fog, will stick around into tonight. Temperatures won't budge too much, staying in the middle to upper 30s. We'll remain in the upper 30s to near 40 on Sunday, while areas of rain continue. During the evening, that rain will change to a wintry mix and snow, and snow will continue through Sunday night. It'll taper off on Monday. The highest amounts should fall roughly from Des Moines to Waterloo to Decorah, but we'll watch for any changes. The snow is going to be wet and slushy, making travel slow anywhere the snow falls.
