Friday 01/27/2012 Weather Statement

The National Weather Service reports snow is continuing to apread over our area, with mostly light snow falling.  Periods of snow are expected over the next hour, followed by diminishing snow.  There will be bursts of heavier snow, reducing visibility at times to less than a mile.  As temperatures fall to the freezing mark or lower, accumulating snow may produce slick roads.  Snowfall especially in Iowa could amount to as much as an inch. 

Roads, bridges and overpasses may be slick and hazardous due to the accumulating snow.  Be extra cautious on bridges, overpasses, and in flat, open areas exposed to the elements, as those areas could prove to be slick over the next few hours.
