Yeah, mother nature you can stop anytime now.
QuoteA strong cold front will be pushing through eastern Iowa on Thursday bringing freezing rain, snow, and possible blizzard conditions.
Winter weather alerts have been issued across eastern Iowa ahead of the system. Areas highlighted in orange from Waterloo to Tama are under a Blizzard Warning and a Winter Stor Warning issued for areas to the east between Highway 20 and Interstate 80. Heavy snow and high winds could lead to dangerous travel tomorrow afternoon and evening.
Wintry precipitation looks to move in between 6-9 a.m. Thursday morning and will quickly change over into snow by the late morning, early afternoon hours. Snow will then be falling through the evening and could be heavy at times. This could pile up on the roadways quickly and reduce visibility.
One of the bigger concerns is going to be the winds. Winds could gust between 30-40 mph throughout the afternoon and evening. This could lead to blowing snow and especially in open areas, blizzard-like conditions. Snow looks to end before 8 p.m., but blowing snow will still be a threat through the overnight hours and could linger into Friday morning as winds continue to stay high. Highs winds could also lead to a flash freeze and slick conditions on the roads.
And of course after this the precipitation goes away but it's supposed to get really cold around here.
So looking forward to spring now.
