...SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY IMPACTING 
MUCH OF IOWA...

.What seems like the first widespread, significant snowfall of the 
season is finally here in February for much of the state. Snow is 
expected to begin toward midnight tonight over far western Iowa 
spreading into central and eastern Iowa after midnight. While snow 
is expected statewide, the highest snow accumulations will be over 
southern into portions of central Iowa with 5 to 8 inches expected. 
Snow covered and slick roads should be expected and create for 
hazardous travel. Snow rates will generally be a quarter to half an 
inch per hour, though there will be a few periods where rates will 
be half an inch to three-quarters of an inch per hour. While 
visibility will be reduced in falling snow, blowing snow will not be 
a significant issue with wind speeds averaging 10 to 15 mph. The 
snow will taper off from west to east late Wednesday afternoon into 
Wednesday evening.
