The National Weather Service says after some Iowa locations received over half a foot of snow overnight into early this morning, more snow is coming to the state tonight. Around 1″ to 4″ of snow is expected along and south of Interstate-80, with the highest totals falling over southern Iowa. The snow will begin in western Iowa around 4-pm today and spread eastward throughout the evening hours, making it to the Des Moines metro around 6- to 8-pm.

The snow is expected to last through the overnight hours, with most accumulation occurring between midnight- and 6-am Saturday. By noon Saturday, much of the snow should be east of our area. Hazardous travel is possible, so be prepared to slow down as roadways may be snow-covered and slippery.
