Blizzard Warning
...STRONG WINDS, SNOW, AND FALLING TEMPERATURES LEADING TO
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL TODAY...
.Strong winds combined with bands of snow moving through central into
northern Iowa are producing sharp drops in visibility. Heaviest snow
amounts are expected in northern Iowa, as snow will continue the
longest in these areas, resulting in prolonged periods of blizzard
conditions. Farther south into north central and central Iowa, rain
will transition to snow as temperatures drop below freezing,
resulting in re-freeze potential. Similarly, bursts of snow will
lead to short durations of visibility under a mile, which combined
with freezing roads could make travel dangerous. Accumulations will
be less in the Advisory areas, with visibility drops only present
with falling snow.
* WHAT...Blizzard conditions. Additional snow accumulations between
3 and 5 inches and ice accumulations around a light glaze. Winds
gusting as high as 60 mph.
* WHERE...Much of northern Iowa.
* WHEN...Until 9 AM CST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Widespread blowing
snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous
conditions could impact the Monday morning commute. Gusty winds
could bring down tree branches.
