Winter Weather Advisory


... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 1 PM CDT
Saturday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 1 PM CDT
Saturday.

* Short term trends... moderate to occasionally heavy snowfall is
expected through the evening into the early morning hours. The
heaviest snow through midnight is expected from near Newton back
to the Lamoni and Mount Ayr locations. Visibilities from one
half to two miles will be common during the evening into the
overnight hours. Snowfall rates of up to one half inch per hour
will be possible.

* Timing... snow will persist overnight and taper off from
northwest to southeast on Saturday morning.

* 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... 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.
