NWS: Winter Monitor Page
 Accumulating snows will return to the region late tonight and continue through Saturday night - hampering some travel. Although the exact amount and path of the heaviest snow is still uncertain at this point, several inches of snow are possible before the precipitation moves off and ends early Sunday. Most likely the higher snow amounts will fall late Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening and along and north of a Charles City, IA to Wisconsin Rapids, WI line. Winter Storm Watches have been posted for this area. Meanwhile, the further south and east you go, the snow should mix with or change over to rain, especially over eastern Iowa into southern Wisconsin and Illinois. A storm system driving northeast out of the Southern Plains to the eastern Great Lakes will be the culprit for all the precipitation.
If you have travel plans this weekend, continue to check later weather forecasts and statements. Additional watches, warnings and/or advisories may be issued as confidence in the forecast details grow.
A good way to monitor conditions is via our Winter Monitor page - a one-stop web page that has a variety of forecast information and maps to help your planning.
