A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Marshall, Jasper, Poweshiek, Warren, Marion, Mahaska, Monroe, and Wapello counties, including the communities of Marshalltown, Newton, Grinnell, Norwalk, Indianola, Carlisle, Knoxville, Pella, Oskaloosa, Albia, and Ottumwa. The advisory will be in effect from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday as another round of accumulating snow moves across central and southeast Iowa.
Forecasters expect 2 to 4 inches of snow, with steady snowfall likely throughout the morning hours and tapering off by mid-afternoon. The timing of the system may lead to slick and snow-covered roads, especially during the early travel period. Drivers across the affected counties should be prepared for slippery conditions and reduced visibility at times.
Residents are encouraged to slow down, allow extra time for travel, and use caution on untreated or partially covered roadways. For up-to-date travel information, the latest conditions can be found through the Iowa 511 mobile app, online at 511ia.org, or by dialing 511.
