Warnings and Notices

	Blizzard Warning, Winter Storm Warning
Statement as of 1:55 PM CST on December 08, 2009 ... Winter Storm Warning now in effect until midnight CST tonight... ... Blizzard Warning in effect from midnight tonight to midnight CST Wednesday night... The National Weather Service in Quad Cities has issued a Blizzard Warning... which is in effect from midnight tonight to midnight CST Wednesday night. The Winter Storm Warning is now in effect until midnight CST tonight. The blizzard watch is no longer in effect. An intense winter storm will affect the region today through Wednesday. This system will produce 6 to 12 inches of snow with locally higher amounts along and north of Highway 30 possible by Wednesday night. Thunder-snow is possible tonight along with very heavy snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour. As the system moves off to the northeast late tonight... northwest winds will increase to 25 to 40 mph with gusts over 50 mph. Winds of this strength will create widespread blowing and drifting snow and reduced visibilities. Whiteout conditions are likely in rural and open areas. Travel will become difficult... if not impossible. The combination of strong winds... accumulating snow and blowing snow are likely to result in power outages. Falling tree limbs may also result in additional damage. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow and blowing snow means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow and blowing snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an emergency. If you must travel... keep an extra flashlight... food... and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Blizzard Warning means that falling and blowing snow... strong winds and poor visibilities of one-quarter mile or less are occurring or imminent. This will cause whiteout conditions... making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel! If you must travel due to an emergency... take your winter survival kit. If you get stranded... stay with your vehicle until help arrives.
