...LOCALIZED WHITEOUT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN SNOW SQUALLS ON FRIDAY... .While there may be a few snow showers overnight, the main time window of concern and impact will be from mid-morning Friday until early evening. This is when narrow snow bands, or snow squalls, will move into the state from northwest to southeast. While not everyone will see snow, the highest coverage over central Iowa is expected Friday afternoon. These snow bands will produce brief, but intense snow rates, which will reduce the visibility under a mile, and may quickly cover roads creating hazardous conditions. Winds from the northwest commonly gusting between 35 to 45 mph will further reduce the visibility when the snow is falling. Be prepared on Friday for rapidly changing driving conditions from normal to near whiteout conditions. * WHAT...Snow showers and squalls. Total snow accumulations up to one inch.
