Des Moines, IA (northwestiowanow.com) — More than 60 counties across western, central, and northeast Iowa are under a Winter Storm Watch starting tomorrow night and lasting into Wednesday afternoon. NWS meteorologist Brooke Hagenhoff says rain will start falling this evening and it’ll switch to light snow as the temperatures drop through the night.

Hagenhoff said the snow and winds should start to taper off after midday Wednesday, though the roads may be very icy or snow-covered.

 

Hagenhoff says they’re not expecting a lot of snowfall with this storm, maybe two inches, but says the main threat is the winds creating poor visibility and blowing snow on roadways causing drafting.
