A strong early spring system will impact Iowa as rain will quickly change to snow from northwest Iowa to southeast Iowa overnight as winds intensify from the northwest and become strong with gusts near or above 60 miles per hour. The combination of these winds with falling snow will cause significant visibility reductions with a period of blizzard conditions expected. Travel will be dangerous at times tonight as 2-6 inches of snow is forecast to fall.
The strong winds will blow down trees and power lines, and widespread power outages are expected.
