... Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 1 PM CDT Saturday...
The National Weather Service in Des Moines has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow and minor blowing snow... which is in effect
from 6 PM this evening to 1 PM CDT Saturday.
* Short term trends... light to moderate snow will continue to move
from western into central Iowa over the next several hours.
* Timing... moderate snow will continue over western Iowa through
early evening with light snow intensifying over central Iowa
late this evening and overnight. Late tonight and early Saturday
morning the southeast sections will see moderate snowfall which will
continue through midday Saturday.
* Storm total accumulations... accumulations will range from three
to five inches in the advisory area with a few higher amounts
possible across the far southern border counties of Iowa.
* Impacts... the snow will accumulate initially on grassy areas.
After sunset snow will accumulate on roads resulting in slush to
snow covered conditions. Roads are likely to become slippery and
travel times to area destinations will be lengthened. Visibility
will be reduced to under one half mile at times which will cause
difficult travel conditions.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will
cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and
limited visibility... and use caution while driving.
