A significant winter storm is predicted to bring blizzard conditions to Iowa this weekend, beginning on Sunday. Central Iowa will start with rain and potential thunderstorms, transitioning to snow by the afternoon. Northern Iowa is expected to receive the heaviest snowfall, potentially exceeding 6 inches. While central and southwest Iowa will see less snow, the primary concern is the high winds, which could gust between 50 and 60 mph, creating whiteout conditions and making travel extremely dangerous. These conditions will significantly reduce visibility, posing a threat to drivers, especially in open areas where blizzard-like conditions are expected.
