Uyarılar, Wantea Point

Special Weather Statement issued March 6 at 8:45PM CST by NWS Quad Cities IA IL A band of precipitation is expected to develop late tonight, lasting into the morning hours Friday. This band, starting out as rain or a rain/snow mix will turn to all snow along and north of the Highway 30 corridor by sunrise Friday. Although snowfall totals should remain relatively light, between one to three inches in total, the heaviest of this snow should come during the Friday morning commute time. Snowfall rates of up to a half inch per hour during the commute could lead to a coating of snow on roads once temperatures cool to near or below freezing. Also, some reduced visibilities are possible in the wet, heavy snow. Travel conditions should improve near the end of the commute, around 9 AM and after. If planning to travel Friday morning, be prepared for these travel impacts! Give yourself plenty of braking distance, and as always, make sure to take it slower if you encounter snow- covered roads.
