Winter Storm: Dec. 10-11

Another winter storm is taking aim at the central plains and unfortunately this storm is going to be one that once again is bringing a mixture of precipitation types to the state. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for areas of Iowa mainly south of I80, to keep up on the warnings check out the link that was provided previously as well as the map on the Des Moines Winter Storm Page. The possibilities with this storm includes a mixture of freezing rain, sleet and snow; with up to a half inch or more of ice accumulation along with up to an inch of sleet and a couple inches of snow. Many possibilities still exist as the exact location of the storm as well as precip type, much like the last storms to hit the state. This event should begin Monday night and last through the day on Tuesday, with the bulk of mixed precip actually occurring Monday night. An update on the forecast as well as the watches/warnings will likely be made tomorrow in between my study sessions for finals!
