(Radio Iowa) – More than 60 counties across western, central and northeast Iowa are under a Winter Storm Watch starting tomorrow (Tuesday) night and lasting into Wednesday afternoon.
National Weather Service meteorologist Brooke Hagenhoff says rain will start falling tonight and it’ll switch to snow as the temperature drops. Hagenhoff says it’ll get very windy on Tuesday night, with winds gusting over 50 miles an hour and the potential for blizzard conditions. She says the snow and winds should start to to taper off after midday Wednesday, though roads may be icy or snow-covered.
Hagenhoff says they only expect perhaps two inches of snow, but she says the real threat is the winds creating poor visibility and blowing and drifting snow.
