The National Weather Service says another round of snow looks to develop late this afternoon over western Iowa and will transition east during the evening hours. Generally 1 to 2 inches of light snow is anticipated along and south of Interstate 80 to the Missouri border, with a few locations possibly receiving nearly 3 inches over the far south. This snow will impact the evening commute over much of central Iowa. Even though it’s only 1 to 2 inches, it’ll be enough to cover the roads and cause them to be very slick.
Motorists are asked to “Please, take it slow in the snow!!!” Additional light snow is forecast Thursday evening into Friday morning with even another round of snow possible on Saturday.
