Winter Storm Watch issued for tonight

Don’t put your sleds and shovels away just yet.

Just when you thought winter might have gasped its last breath, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch this morning to go into effect Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning. A Winter Storm Watch means there is the potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel.

An intensifying low pressure system in the southwestern United States is expected to move northeast into Iowa during the day Tuesday. Forecasters believe there is a significant chance of rain changing over to snow across Central Iowa.
