Des Moines, IA (northwestiowanow.com) — Blizzard Warnings and High Wind Warnings are posted for much of western and central Iowa for tonight (Tuesday) through tomorrow afternoon, and forecasters say Iowans should anticipate a significant impact on roads. Meteorologist Jim Lee, at the National Weather Service, says the large and powerful storm system is approaching Iowa from the southwest.

Lee predicts wide sections of Iowa could get three to six inches of snow from this system.

Lee says winds may gust up to 65 miles an hour, and with the blowing snow, white-out conditions may be possible. Forecasters are watching another storm system develop which could bring more snow to Iowa Thursday night and into Friday.
