(Area) A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for all of southwest Iowa, beginning at 4:00 p.m. Friday and continuing through 9:00 a.m. Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Des Moines forecasts mixed precipitation across the region, with snow and sleet accumulations expected to stay below one inch. However, ice accumulations of around one to two-tenths of an inch are anticipated, which could lead to hazardous conditions on roads and sidewalks.
Motorists should prepare for slippery roads starting Friday evening and extending into Saturday morning. The hazardous weather may significantly impact the Friday evening commute, so drivers are urged to exercise caution and plan for potential delays.
