Winter Storm (Jan. 13-14)

Less than 24 hours after our previous storm has ended we are looking at another quick clipper to move near the state and give us additional snowfall. Snowfall amounts will vary from less than an inch in southwest Iowa, to 4-6 inches being possible across northeast Iowa. Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for areas of the state where snowfall is expected to be greater than 3 inches. This snowfall should begin this evening over much of the state, and continue through the nighttime hours. As the snowfall begins to taper off tomorrow morning, the winds will once again increase to 20-30 mph and will likely create blowing snow and some ground-blizzard conditions. Thus expect some hazardous travel conditions from late this evening through the overnight, and likely well into tomorrow morning where the snowfall and winds will combine to create low visibilities and drifting on roadways.

Additional storm updates are likely later tonight...
