The featured gantt chart presents the watch, warnings, and advisories issued by NWS Des Moines over the past two and a half weeks. It has been a busy time for weather forecasters with multiple high impact winter storms and now very cold wind chills prompting the issuance of various headlines to alert the public. Most NWS alerts are sequentially tracked by numeric event identifiers (a part of a system called VTEC) with identifiers starting at 1 and incrementing with each subsequent event creation. Those are the numbers that appear within the label for each of the events shown. The active weather will continue into the weekend with even colder weather possible by Sunday.
