Winter Storm: Feb. 13-14 Update #2

A quick update this morning on what you can expect for snowfall totals through this evening. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for areas of southwest Iowa where snowfall may begin this morning and continue through the afternoon hours. Total accumulations of 4-7 inches are likely, with some locally heavier amounts. Other parts of south-central Iowa have been put under a Winter Weather Advisory as snow will begin this afternoon and continue through this evening leaving 2-5 inches of snow on the ground.

Other parts of the state may see snow, but little accumulation is expected. Traveling may still be hazardous over areas of the state with the snowfall, thus be alert when the snow is falling as it may be heavy at times.

Beyond this snow, expect a fairly clear and sunny weekend with temperatures in the 20s and 30s across the state for highs, and single digits to the teens for lows. The next chance of precipitation will come next Tuesday as the chance for a wintery mix enters the forecast.
