...Hazardous Travel Today with Moderate to at Times Heavy Snowfall
over Northern into Central Iowa...

.Snow has moved into western Iowa and is beginning to push toward
the Highway 169 corridor as the clock ticks near 3am. Snowfall
will continue to advance eastward over northern and central Iowa
early this morning and persist much of the day over the northern
half of the state.

The highest snowfall rates will be this morning and lead to
visibility as low as around a half a mile over northern into at
times central Iowa. Sustained winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts up
to around 25 mph will also cause some blowing snow, which of
course will be the worst when there is falling snow. With rates
lessening into this afternoon and evening, the visibility
reduction will not be as low.

Amounts will be the highest north of Highway 20 up to around
Highway 18 with a quick drop off in amounts to the south toward
Interstate 80 and to the north toward the Iowa Minnesota border.
As the precipitation diminishes later in the afternoon into early
this evening, there may also be freezing drizzle mixed in at times
generally along and south of Highway 30.


...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM CST THIS
EVENING...

accumulations of 2 to 4 inches, though 4 to near 6 inches around
