... Slick spots may develop later this evening...
Although much of the snow has ended across central and southern
Iowa... intermittent light drizzle and light freezing drizzle will
continue into the evening. There may be some flurries as
well... but little or no additional snow accumulations are
anticipated.
Roads are wet with Road surface temperatures at or above freezing
from the Missouri border up to around Highway 20... and those conditions
are expected to persist into the evening commute. However some
slick and icy spots may develop after 600 PM as Road temperatures
begin to gradually drop with the loss of daytime heating.
Motorists planning travel later tonight should be prepared for
changing Road conditions as the evening progresses.
