Warnings and Notices

	Winter Storm Watch
Statement as of 4:18 AM CST on December 22, 2009 ... Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Wednesday morning through Friday afternoon... A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from Wednesday morning through Friday afternoon. * Timing... although freezing drizzle may occur later today and tonight... the most significant impacts with this storm should occur Wednesday morning through late Friday afternoon. * Storm total ice accumulations... icing of up to one quarter of an inch is expected from the Highway 30 to Highway 20 corridors through Thursday with lesser amounts either side of those areas. * Storm total snow accumulations... the precipitation should become primarily snow late Thursday with total accumulations from 2 to 4 inches from Atlantic... Des Moines and Grinnell... up to over a foot along and west of a Denison... to Fort Dodge... to Mason City line. * Winds... brisk east winds of 15 to 25 mph will be in place through much of Wednesday and Thursday Bee fore increasing even further by Friday. Winds by that time may be sustained at 25 to 35 mph with gusts even higher. * Visibility... during the periods of heavy snow Thursday into Friday... visibilities will generally be less than one mile and even down to a quarter mile during the heaviest snows. With increasing winds and snow coincident by Friday... blowing snow and greatly reduced visibilities near blizzard conditions are expected by that time. * Impacts... travel will become increasingly difficult in the watch area on Wednesday during the wintry mix of precipitation and continue to be difficult into Thursday and Friday as snow accumulates and winds increase. In the heaviest snow areas... travel may become nearly impossible due to blowing and drifting snow Thursday night into Friday. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
