Snowfall is anticipated to make a comeback in Iowa this Saturday, ushering in a wintry mix and accumulating snow. The northern regions, particularly along and north of the Iowa-Minnesota border, are likely to experience the most substantial snowfall.
The National Weather Service (NWS) Des Moines reports that snowfall may reach as far south as Interstate 80, potentially causing slick road conditions. Additionally, there is a possibility of a wintry mix developing along the I-80 corridor in central Iowa.
In cities like Mason City and Algona, there is a high likelihood of experiencing at least 0.1 inches of snow, with a probability exceeding 90%. Similarly, areas near Decorah and Estherville have a 50% or greater chance of receiving over two inches of snow.
Snow will start falling on Saturday morning and persist throughout the day, bringing potentially dangerous road conditions and limited visibility for travelers, especially in northern Iowa.
Before you hit the road, it’s important to stay informed about the current road conditions and weather updates. Take a moment to check for any potential disruptions to your journey and plan accordingly. It’s always a good idea to allow for extra travel time and exercise caution, especially in areas that may be affected by adverse weather conditions. Remember, forecasts can change, so it’s crucial to stay updated throughout your journey.
