Warnings and Notices

	Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 3:35 AM CST on November 16, 2009 ... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from noon today to midnight CST tonight... The National Weather Service in Des Moines has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from noon today to midnight CST tonight. Rain is forecast to overspread southern Iowa this morning and continue into afternoon and nighttime hours. In southwestern portions of the area... enough cold air will be present for rain to mix with then change to snow by this afternoon. The snow is expected to persist into the evening hours before mixing or changing back to all rain by midnight. Snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are expected in the advisory area with isolated 5 inch amounts. Most of the accumulation will be on grassy areas as pavement temperatures are around 40 degrees. However... with sunset this evening... Road and especially bridge temperatures should fall to near freezing with slushy accumulations possible on these surfaces. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibility... and use caution while driving. Cogil
