Wintry Weather for Late Tonight into Friday

Precipitation is back in the forecast for an extended period beginning late tonight and continuing into Friday. Light snow, mixed at times with rain is expected on and off during this time with light to moderate accumulations over much of central Iowa by late Friday. Temperatures will be near freezing for much of the event, so some melting from roads and highways is expected during the day. However, at night, roads and highways may see snow and slush accumulations leading to hazardous travel.
