Cass-Adair-Adams-Audubon-Guthrie-Dallas-Madison-Union-Sac-Crawford-Carroll Counties…..Light Snow to Impact Travel Tonight

A band of light snow is anticipated to develop over west central Iowa shortly after 6 PM this evening and looks to spread east during the rest of the evening hours. The snow band will likely impact Ames to Des Moines areas by around 8 to 9 PM tonight.

The light and fluffy nature of the snow combined with winds of 10 to 20 mph will cause some slick roads and visibility restrictions at times. Interstate 80 from Atlantic to Des Moines, Interstate 35 from Osceola through Des Moines, Ankeny, Ames and as far north as Williams can expected tricky travel late tonight.

Other locations also include Highway 20 west of Interstate 35 and Highway 71 south of Sac City to around Audubon. Please use caution while driving in snowy conditions and provide plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front of you.
