All of Iowa, Road Conditions, Winter Weather

The Beginning of a Long Duration Event


Even as the snow continues this evening across the state, this is just the beginning of a couple days of light to moderate snow. Winter Storm Warnings have been issued across the central portions of the state beginning Monday morning and lasting through Tuesday evening. Winter Weather Advisories have been issued to the west beginning this evening in the NW part of the state and tomorrow morning elsewhere. They will be in effect through Tuesday. The Winter Storm Watch is still in effect in the far eastern portions of the state. It will be in effect from Monday evening through Wednesday morning, (but will likely be changed prior to that)

Storm totals from this storm when all is said and done look to be in the range of 8-12 inches in the warning area, with lighter amounts in the Advisory areas. Already today, a few locations have received up to 2 inches plus of snow so far. Roads have become rather slick, especially in the northern and eastern portions of the state. A few locations have begun tow bans. If you have to travel tonight through the middle of this week, be cautious to the ever changing road conditions.
