Moderate to heavy snow, wind gusts up to 70 mph and visibility one-quarter of a mile or less are expected Wednesday.

A messy system will move in for our Wednesday. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for everyone other than Houston and Winneshiek Counties. This watch begins late Tuesday night and will last until late Wednesday night.

Wednesday is our next First Alert 6 Weather Day for a combination of strong winds and snow. Blizzard Warnings are now in place for areas along and north of I-80, including the metro, for most of the day Wednesday.
