Snow Continuing...

Snowfall began across the state yesterday evening, and has continued through the nighttime hours and into the morning hours today. The snowfall should continue over much of the state this morning, moving slowly eastward and out of at least the western half of Iowa by this evening. Overnight tonight the snow should continue over eastern Iowa, before tapering off in the early morning hours on Monday. Total accumulations between 2-4 inches are likely in an area that is currently in a Winter Weather Advisory. This advisory encompasses an area roughly defined as areas east of I-35 and south of Highway 20. Just north and west of the advisory should still see an inch or so of snowfall accumulations through today as well, with only the extreme western portions of the state seeing a dusting.
