Winter Weather Advisory
-URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Des Moines IA 1056 AM CST Sun Dec 28 2025 ...STRONG WINDS, SNOW, AND FALLING TEMPERATURES LEADING TO HAZARDOUS TRAVEL TODAY... .Strong winds combined with bands of snow moving through central into northern Iowa are producing sharp drops in visibility. Heaviest snow amounts are expected in northern Iowa, as snow will continue the longest in these areas, resulting in prolonged periods of blizzard conditions. Farther south into north central and central Iowa, rain will transition to snow as temperatures drop below freezing, resulting in re-freeze potential. Similarly, bursts of snow will lead to short durations of visibility under a mile, which combined with freezing roads could make travel dangerous. Accumulations will be less in the Advisory areas, with visibility drops only present with falling snow.
