A BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST FRIDAY. 

A MIXTURE OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE WARNING AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...A TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW WILL BEGIN
IN THE WEST BY DAYBREAK AND PROGRESS RAPIDLY EASTWARD TO THE
INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR BY 9 TO 10 AM. THE SNOW WILL BE HEAVY AT
TIMES AND MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY THUNDER PRODUCING SNOWFALL RATES
OF UP TO 2 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR. THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
AFTERNOON WITH THE HIGHEST RATES CLOSER TO THE MINNESOTA BORDER.
FARTHER SOUTH...THE SNOW WILL DIMINISH IN INTENSITY BY AFTERNOON.
LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE SNOW IS THEN FORECAST TO PERSIST
TONIGHT AND EVEN INTO FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH HIGHWAY
30 WITH SOME ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS. BY THE TIME THE SNOW
ENDS...TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 12 INCHES OR MORE ARE EXPECTED ALONG
AND WEST OF A LINE FROM CARROLL TO MASON CITY WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS
OF UP TO 16 INCHES NEAR ESTHERVILLE. 6 TO 12 INCHES ARE EXPECTED
EAST OF THE CARROLL TO MASON CITY LINE AND WEST OF AN ALLISON
THROUGH AMES TO CORNING LINE. EAST OF THE ALLISON THROUGH AMES TO
CORNING LINE...2 TO 6 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE.

AS THE SNOW INTENSITIES BEGIN TO DECREASE THIS AFTERNOON...WINDS
FROM THE WEST TO NORTHWEST WILL INCREASE QUICKLY. WIND SPEEDS OF
20 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS OF OVER 45 MPH WILL BECOME LIKELY BY MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON AND PERSIST INTO THE DAY ON FRIDAY. THIS IS
FORECAST TO PRODUCE SUBSTANTIAL BLOWING SNOW ALONG WITH LARGE
DRIFTS GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL...ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE WARNING. LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS WILL EXIST AS
WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. BE
PREPARED FOR LIMITED TRAVEL AS DRIVING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT IF
NOT IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO THE WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND DRIFTING SNOW
ACROSS THE HIGHWAYS. EXTENDED STAYS IN ONE LOCATION MAY BE
NECESSARY.

A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS
AND POOR VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS...MAKING TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRAVEL. IF
YOU MUST...HAVE A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU. IF YOU GET
STRANDED...STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE.
