BLIZZARD TO CLOG TRAVEL WITH UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW FROM IOWA TO MICHIGAN

BLIZZARD TO CLOG TRAVEL WITH UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW FROM IOWA TO MICHIGAN

Less than 24 hours after record-challenging warmth, a storm will threaten part of the north-central United States with blizzard conditions through Friday.

In some areas, temperatures will plunge 40 degrees Fahrenheit after peaking in the 60s and 70s at midweek. Temperatures will peak in the 20s and 30s during the storm on Friday.

As snow spreads northeastward, the storm is likely to cause major travel disruptions along the Interstate 35, 80, 90 and 94 corridors. Snow will clog roads from Iowa to southern Minnesota and northern Michigan.

While the heaviest snow has departed Nebraska, gusty winds will continue to cause blowing and drifting snow on Friday.

“From portions of northern Iowa to the shores of Lake Superior, the combination of heavy snow and increasing wind and decreasing visibility may create blizzard conditions for a time,” according to AccuWeather Storm Warning Meteorologist Alex Avalos.

Initially the snow will be wet, slushy and clinging in nature. However, as roads and other surfaces cool and winds increase, the snow will become more powdery and subject to extensive blowing and drifting. Wind can gust to 45 mph in some locations.
