...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WITH INTENSE WINDS 
AND SNOW...

.A strong early spring system will continue to affect Iowa tonight 
into Wednesday. Rain will quickly change to snow from northwest Iowa 
to southeast Iowa overnight as winds intensify from the northwest 
and become strong with gusts near or above 60 mph. The combination 
of these winds with falling snow will cause significant visibility 
reductions with a period of blizzard conditions expected. Blowing 
and drifting snow with whiteout conditions, particularly in open, 
rural areas, will make travel dangerous at times tonight into at 
least a part of Wednesday morning. Even as the falling snow ends, 
blowing snow and visibility restrictions may persist. Conditions are 
expected to gradually improve later Wednesday as the winds slowly 
decrease.
