Winter Storm (Dec. 20) Update #2

Light to moderate snowfall combined with strong northwesterly winds have allowed travel conditions across the state to deteriorate throughout the day. Most of north-central and northeast Iowa have been advised to not travel due to the road conditions. These strong winds will continue to create hazardous travel conditions across the northern half of the state through early Sunday.

Beyond the blowing snow and windy conditions, these will combine with temperatures near or below freezing throughout the next 36 hours to create dangerous wind chill value. Much of the state will see wind chills below -20 during the day tomorrow, and even below -30 during the evening and overnight hours tomorrow and Monday night as well. Be sure to keep bundled with the very cold and windy conditions through Monday night...
