Special Weather Statement
South to southwest winds will become gusty up to 30 to 40 MPH today. The peak wind gusts are expected from late morning through early afternoon, before slowly decreasing from west to east as a cold front approaches. These winds will combine with milder temperatures, low humidity, and dry conditions to produce and Elevated Fire Danger today, mainly between 10 AM and 5 PM. If a fire were to start under these conditions, there would be an increased threat of fire spread and it would be difficult to control. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Use extra caution today by avoiding actions that could lead to fire starts. Be especially careful while operating outdoor equipment around dry vegetation and do not carelessly discard cigarettes.
Special Weather Statement
A band of freezing rain, sleet and snow will move through portions of the region this afternoon. While wintry precipitation will only last for around 1 to 3 hours at any given location, this may be long enough to lead to slick spots on untreated surfaces, particularly on bridges and overpasses. Motorists are encouraged to slow down when encountering slippery roads.

The heaviest snow is forecast to fall in a relatively narrow band with amounts quickly decreasing on either side of the band, making this snowfall forecast on the challenging side. Any small changes to the placement of the snow band could change forecast snow amounts at a given location very quickly. Confidence in heavy amounts is highest in far southwest Wisconsin and adjacent areas of northeast Iowa. * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 6 inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph. * WHERE...In northeast Iowa, Fayette, Allamakee, and Clayton Counties.
