Strong Winds Expected Sunday PM through Monday AM

Severe Weather and Winter Storm Planning Reminders

Scattered storms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon ahead of a strengthening surface low and cold front, as they move through the region. Some of these storms could become strong to severe, with strong winds and perhaps some large hail being the main threats.

A strong winter storm is forecast to impact the region Sunday and Monday. Rain initially will quickly changeover to snow Sunday evening from west to east with strong northwest winds. Near-blizzard conditions are possible, with a Winter Storm Watch remaining in effect. Continue to monitor the forecast for updates and consider making changes to travel plans!

Strong northerly winds, gusting around 40-60 mph late Sunday afternoon through Monday morning, will combine with falling snow to support near-blizzard conditions! A High Wind Watch has been issued across eastern Iowa into northeast Missouri.

With severe weather possible Sunday afternoon and snow/near-blizzard conditions Sunday evening into Monday, here are some planning reminders.
