SNOW MODERATE TO HEAVY WEDNESDAY MORNING; TAPERING OFF BY THE AFTERNOON

Snow moderate to heavy Wednesday morning; tapering off by the afternoon

Most of eastern Iowa remains under a Winter Storm Warning as snow continues to fall through the morning hours.  Snowfall will be moderate to heavy at times through the morning and will have significant impacts on the commute.  By 3 p.m., very scattered snow showers or flurries will be the only thing left.

Most of the accumulation takes place before 9 a.m. on Wednesday.  Total accumulations will be range from 3 to 6 inches in most areas east of Decorah, to Waterloo and Oskaloosa. Points west of that line will see 6 to 8 inches.  This snow is much wetter and heavier and will be more difficult to shovel.

In addition, there could be a small amount of freezing rain toward the end of precipitation on Wednesday. That could cause a light glaze on untreated surfaces.  Winds could be gusty, as well, but the wet nature of the snow will limit blowing and drifting.

EXTENDED FORECAST:
Winters said the next system approaches the area over the weekend and could bring primarily rain to the area.
