245 WWUS43 KDMX 222143 WSWDMX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Des Moines IA 343 PM CST Fri Feb 22 2019 ...Icy Tonight Into Saturday, Blizzard Conditions Saturday Evening Into Sunday... .Wintry precipitation will spread across Iowa tonight bringing areas of freezing drizzle and freezing rain to much of Iowa through Saturday morning. Freezing drizzle and freezing rain will mix with some light snow across portions of west central northwest Iowa through the day Saturday. Heavy snow and blizzard conditions are expected to develop across west central and northern Iowa Saturday evening through Sunday with wintry mixed precipitation and patchy blowing snow further south and east. There is still some uncertainty in snow amounts with a tight gradient on the north and south sides of a heavier band of snow, especially in the area along a rain/snow mix line across portions of central Iowa including the Des Moines metro area. A small shift in the track of the system will change the area of the heaviest snow axis which could lead to an expansion of the area with blizzard conditions as the track becomes more defined into Saturday. As colder air moves into Iowa Saturday evening, precipitation will change over to all snow, potentially heavy at times. Wet areas may quickly freeze Saturday evening creating icy travel conditions. Strong and gusty northwest to west winds to increase across the state Saturday night through Sunday causing areas of blowing snow and blizzard conditions especially in rural areas.

916 WWUS43 KDMX 222151 WSWDMX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Des Moines IA 351 PM CST Fri Feb 22 2019 ...Icy Tonight Into Saturday, Blizzard Conditions Saturday Evening Into Sunday... .Wintry precipitation will spread across Iowa tonight bringing areas of freezing drizzle and freezing rain to much of Iowa through Saturday morning. Freezing drizzle and freezing rain will mix with some light snow across portions of west central northwest Iowa through the day Saturday. Heavy snow and blizzard conditions are expected to develop across west central and northern Iowa Saturday evening through Sunday with wintry mixed precipitation and patchy blowing snow further south and east. There is still some uncertainty in snow amounts with a tight gradient on the north and south sides of a heavier band of snow, especially in the area along a rain/snow mix line across portions of central Iowa including the Des Moines metro area. A small shift in the track of the system will change the area of the heaviest snow axis which could lead to an expansion of the area with blizzard conditions as the track becomes more defined into Saturday. As colder air moves into Iowa Saturday evening, precipitation will change over to all snow, potentially heavy at times. Wet areas may quickly freeze Saturday evening creating icy travel conditions. Strong and gusty northwest to west winds to increase across the state Saturday night through Sunday causing areas of blowing snow and blizzard conditions especially in rural areas.

867 WWUS43 KDMX 230331 WSWDMX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Des Moines IA 931 PM CST Fri Feb 22 2019 ...Icy Tonight Into Saturday with Blizzard Conditions Saturday Evening Into Sunday... .Freezing rain and a wintry mix is expanding over much of central Iowa and will continue through Saturday over portions of northern Iowa. A transition to rain will occur over the south by Saturday morning. Late in the afternoon Saturday, heavy snow and blizzard conditions will develop across western, parts of central and northern Iowa continuing through Sunday. Wintry mixed precipitation and patchy blowing snow will occur further south and east. Travel may become difficult to very dangerous over portions of the state Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday morning. There remains some uncertainty as to where the heaviest snow band will set up Saturday afternoon and evening as the main storm crosses Iowa. The transition zone to heavier snow amounts cuts across central Iowa and will extend from southwest Iowa to northeast Iowa just northwest of the Ames to Des Moines corridor. A small shift in the track of the storm will greatly impact snow amounts and the extent of blizzard conditions over the region Saturday evening and night. Some adjustments to the forecast are possible, even on Saturday as the storm is nearly upon the area.

Temperatures will warm enough to change some areas across central Iowa, including the Des Moines Metro, Ames, and Webster City over to rain by mid-morning. The wintry mix will persist however for northern and northwest Iowa through the day. Travel difficulties will continue for areas where freezing rain persists today. By late afternoon and evening, much colder air will change precipitation quickly over to snow from west to east across central Iowa. Snow will become heavy at times this evening with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour likely from Omaha to Fort Dodge to Webster City. Total snowfall of 6 to 10 inches likely along this axis of heaviest snow. Strong winds will accompany the heavy snow producing blizzard conditions. Snow amounts are expected to be lighter south of this heavier axis, with generally 2 to 5 inches expected from 2 to 5 inches from Waterloo to Des Moines towards SW Iowa. Even so the combination of snow and very strong winds will make travel difficult tonight. Although snow ends, winds will continue to impact travel on Sunday. There remains some uncertainty as to where the heaviest snow band will set up Saturday afternoon and evening as the main storm crosses Iowa. A small shift in the track of the storm will greatly impact snow amounts and the extent of blizzard conditions over the region tonight.

Mixed precipitation has already spread into west central Iowa late this afternoon and will continue to move northeast through sunset. This will all quickly change to heavy snow by early this evening however starting a period where one to two inches per hour is possible.

The axis of heaviest snow is expected to fall from Denison and Carroll north and east through Fort Dodge, Algona and Mason City where eight to twelve inches may fall. One to three tiers of counties either side of these areas confidence is lower due to a sharp gradient in expected snowfall where amounts could potentially vary one to four inches just across one county.
