(Radio Iowa) – Forecasters say travel could be difficult if not impossible across Iowa’s northwestern third Wednesday.
Blizzard conditions are in the forecast for some 30 counties with winds gusting up to 65 miles an hour and heavy snow of up to twelve inches in some areas. National Weather Service meteorologist Alexis Jimenez says the storm front will start moving into Iowa late tonight and early tomorrow.
It’ll begin as rain and thunderstorms, shifting to all snow eventually, but may also include “thunder-snow.” Jimenez says white-out conditions are likely and some areas may see snowfall at the rate of two inches per hour.
