The National Weather Service has issued Winter Weather Advisories for parts of western and southwest Iowa. The Advisory is in effect from 6-a.m. today until 9-p.m. for Carroll, Crawford, Audubon, Harrison, Monona and Shelby Counties, and from Noon today until 9-p.m., for Pottawattamie, Mills, and Fremont Counties.

Expect freezing drizzle and mixed precipitation which will result in difficult travel conditions, including during the evening commute. Total snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch are expected. The ice will result in very slippery conditions on sidewalks, roads and bridges, including during the evening commute.  Be prepared for reduced visibilities at times as well.
