It is a busy morning for weather with a significant winter storm strengthening over the High Plains and about to plow eastward. The featured chart presents an IEM accounting of population currently under a given NWS alert headline. A good portion of Iowa is now under a Blizzard Warning for tonight into about noon tomorrow as extreme winds will likely blow around whatever snow that falls. Further to the south, an outbreak of severe weather is expected. If there is any good news, welcome moisture will fall over the state with plenty of rain before a transition to snow.
