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.

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.

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.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
438 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

...Icy Conditions Continue this Morning...
...Blizzard Conditions Develop This Evening Through Sunday...

.Freezing rain will persist until around 9 AM today for areas 
north of Interstate 80. 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.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
925 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

...Fog and Icy Conditions this Morning...
...Blizzard Conditions Develop This Evening Through Sunday...

.Only light drizzle or freezing drizzle lingers across central Iowa
this morning, but dense fog was also in place over northwest and 
west central Iowa combining with slick roads to produce hazardous 
travel with limited visibility.

By late afternoon and evening the situation will change fairly
quickly as 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 is 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.

National Weather Service Des Moines IA
342 PM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

...Blizzard Conditions Tonight Through Sunday North and West...

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. This will also be coincident with increasing winds 
leading to widespread blowing and drifting snow, and even blizzard

line later tonight into Sunday.

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.
However note that regardless of how much snow falls, wind gusts of
35 to 50 mph are anticipated later tonight into Sunday producing
widespread blowing and drifting and blizzard conditions where more

...Blizzard Conditions Tonight Through Sunday North and West...

Mixed precipitation is quickly changing to heavy snow over 
western and northwestern Iowa at this time. Snowfall rates of two

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1113 PM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

...Blizzard Conditions Tonight and Sunday...

Heavy snow continues over portions of central and north central 
Iowa at this time. Snowfall rates of two inches per hour are very 
common. Strong winds are creating widespread blowing and drifting
snow with blizzard conditions along and north of an Atlantic to 
just west of Des Moines to Ames to Waverly line tonight into 
Sunday. Rain and a wintry mix is changing over to snow over 
portions of southeast and east central Iowa.

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. A secondary axis of heavy
snow has developed just west of Des Moines to Ames to Iowa Falls.
This area may see storm totals nearing 6 inches of snow by Sunday
morning. One to three tiers of counties either side of these 
areas slightly lower snowfall is expected due to a sharp gradient 
in expected snowfall. Regardless of how much snow falls, wind 
gusts of 35 to 50 mph tonight into Sunday will produce blizzard 
conditions where more than several inches of snow has fallen. 
Blowing and drifting snow will continue into Sunday even after the
snowfall has ended. Travel will be very difficult to dangerous 
for much of tonight as well as Sunday.

National Weather Service Des Moines IA
553 PM CST Sun Feb 24 2019

...Blizzard Conditions Persist In Northern Iowa this Evening...
...Dangerous Wind Chills North Overnight...

.Very strong northwest winds continue to produce ground blizzard 
conditions over northern Iowa. Visibilities will be reduced to 
less than one quarter of a mile, especially over open and rural 
areas. Areas that received lesser snowfall last night will see 
blowing snow impacts as well, just not as significant as northern 
Iowa where winds continue stronger this evening. Travel will be 
very difficult and potentially dangerous over the north for the
next several hours. Travel may be difficult at times over western
and central sections this evening. Winds will continue to 
gradually slow down in the late evening hours.
