Des Moines, IA – A Winter Weather Advisory affecting parts of northern Iowa, southern Minnesota, and western Wisconsin expired early Friday morning as precipitation tapered off and no additional snowfall was reported.
According to the National Weather Service, the advisory ended at 3 a.m., though road conditions remain hazardous in many areas. Untreated roads, especially secondary routes, may still be covered with snow or slush, posing challenges for morning commuters.
Gusty winds of 25 to 35 mph, reported west of the Mississippi River, could cause blowing and drifting snow, particularly in open areas. Motorists are advised to slow down and allow extra travel time. Travelers in affected regions can check local road conditions through 511 services in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
While snowfall from this storm has concluded, the elevated winds may continue to cause visibility issues through the morning hours. Residents are encouraged to exercise caution while traveling and stay updated on changing weather conditions.
