Wind Gust Timing Through Monday AM

Winter Storm Safety and Planning Reminders

Hazardous travel conditions are expected through the overnight hours and into the Monday AM commute. Area webcams are showing very low visibility and DOT road conditions report I-80 is now closed west of Iowa City. Stay safe out there!

Here's an updated timing graphic of when the rain is expected to change over to snow.

A significant winter storm is expected this evening through Monday morning. Rain will quickly changeover to snow from west to east with strong north to northwest winds developing area-wide. This will lead to blizzard conditions tonight into Monday with whiteout conditions expected, especially for open/rural areas. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, so stay home if you can!

Strong northerly winds with gusts of 40 to 60 MPH are forecast to develop late this afternoon into evening and continue through Monday morning. The strong winds, combined with falling snow, will lead to blizzard conditions across the area. Even after the snow ends, winds will maintain significantly reduced visibility and dangerous travel conditions! A High Wind Warning remains in effect across most of the area.

With accumulating snow and blizzard conditions expected this evening through Monday morning, here are some planning reminders.
