...Winter Storm Developing Monday through Tuesday Morning...

.A powerful storm system will bring heavy snow, strong and gusty
winds, mixed freezing rain and snow, and considerable blowing and
drifting snow to the region through Tuesday morning. Snow and
freezing rain will develop toward daybreak in far southeast Iowa
and west central Illinois. Snow will slowly spread north through
the day, reaching Interstate 80 and the Cedar Rapids to Quad
Cities metro areas between 2 and 4 PM Monday afternoon. Farther
north, after a mainly dry afternoon, snow will arrive towards the
evening commute along Highway 20 in Iowa and Illinois.

At this time, much of southeast Iowa and east central Iowa into
northwest Illinois is at risk for seeing 6 to 12 inches of heavy
wet snow, with considerable blowing and drifting snow Tuesday
night. Heaviest snowfall can be expected within a band between
Highways 30 and 34. Locations in the far north will see less snow,
in the 3 to 6 inch range, and in the far south, a mix of snow,
freezing rain and rain will limit snow amounts to the 2 to 5 inch
range.
