Des Moines, IA – A wintry system could bring freezing rain and slick roads to Iowa on Wednesday, making travel hazardous.
According to the National Weather Service in Des Moines, freezing drizzle and freezing rain pose the biggest threats. Ice could accumulate on roads, increasing the risk of dangerous driving conditions. Warmer temperatures in southern Iowa may prevent freezing, resulting in rain instead of ice. Meanwhile, far northern areas may see light snow instead of freezing rain.
Forecasters remain uncertain about the exact location of the greatest icing. Residents should monitor updates for clearer details. Officials urge drivers to prepare for potential impacts and drive cautiously if icy conditions develop.
The National Weather Service advises residents to stay informed, watch forecasts, and prepare for possible disruptions. Check road conditions before heading out, and allow extra travel time if freezing rain occurs.
More details will become available as the system moves closer. Stay updated to avoid getting caught in hazardous conditions.
