...Significant Winter Storm Potential Wednesday Into Thursday...

conditions from northern into central Iowa by Wednesday afternoon
and into Thursday. Potentially heavy snowfall is likely in far
northern Iowa with accumulations pushing 8 inches or more close to
the state border. Strong winds will further aggravate difficult
driving conditions by producing widespread blowing snow and
visibility reductions to near a quarter mile at times. Mixed
precipitation types are more of a concern to the south in central
Iowa with a variety of snow, freezing rain, and sleet all
possible. Ice accretions may approach a quarter inch over portions
of central Iowa should more freezing rain be realized.
