OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A winter storm dropping freezing rain and snow is tracking east across Nebraska into Iowa, prompting schools and businesses to remain closed for the day. The National Weather Service has issued winter weather advisories and warnings Tuesday that carry forecasts of up to 8 inches of snow for northeast Iowa. Up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) is expected to accumulate by the time the storm leaves Omaha, and as much as 5 inches is forecast to amass in the Des Moines area overnight into Wednesday.

Wind-driven snow and icy roadways are making travel hazardous. The Nebraska Transportation Department reports that Interstate 80 is partially covered with ice in central Nebraska, as are several other highways. No storm closures have been reported. Below-zero wind chill temperatures are forecast overnight.

(Radio Iowa) — Winter was late in arriving to many areas of Iowa, but snow and colder temperatures are once again in the forecast for the state. National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Lee says a significant storm system will spread from northwest to southeast Iowa throughout the day tomorrow (Friday). “We’re looking at amounts generally in the 4 to 7 inch range. Some places will be a little bit higher and lower, but a pretty good accumulating snowfall,” Lee says.

High winds are expected with the snow – reducing visibility for motorists and possibly making roads slick. Much colder air will follow the snow with temperatures dropping into the single digits on Saturday and wind chill readings will fall well below zero Saturday night into Sunday. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from Noon Friday until 6-a.m. Saturday, for most of the KJAN listening area.
