The National Weather Service in Des Moines reports rain will transition to snow late this afternoon into the evening across northern Iowa. During this time frame, generally 1 to 2 inches of snow is forecast over northern Iowa. With the surface low pressure anticipated to push across Iowa overnight tonight into Tuesday morning, blustery west to northwest winds are likely to develop over western Iowa and spread east throughout the day.

With the falling snow and blustery winds, visibility restrictions can be expected at times during the morning commute Tuesday, especially over western to northern Iowa. Slick roads are possible as well Tuesday. Roughly an additional 1 to 3 inches are possible over western to northern Iowa, with around an inch anticipated over central Iowa.
