Strong south winds gusting to 50 mph will create subzero wind chills and patchy blowing and drifting snow. The blowing and drifting snow will be most prevalent across southwest Minnesota. Precipitation will develop across northwest Iowa and move into southwest Minnesota tonight. This precipitation will continue into Wednesday. Light snow will also be possible across much of the region on Thursday.
Strong south winds are expected to develop today creating blowing and drifting snow. The greatest potential for this will be this afternoon into the evening hours when winds could gust to near 50 mph.
Precipitation is back in the forecast for an extended period beginning late tonight and continuing into Friday. Light snow, mixed at times with rain is expected on and off during this time with light to moderate accumulations over much of central Iowa by late Friday. Temperatures will be near freezing for much of the event, so some melting from roads and highways is expected during the day. However, at night, roads and highways may see snow and slush accumulations leading to hazardous travel.
