...Accumulating Snow North Sunday...

.A strong weather system is expected to move through the region
early Sunday into Tuesday with a prolonged period of
precipitation. Initially this precipitation will be snow in
northern Iowa with wintry mixes or rain further south. High snow
rates at times will lead to a quick accumulation of 1-4" of snow,
with locally higher amounts possible, combined with reduced
visibilities at times making for difficult travel in portions of
north central Iowa. Winds will also become quite gusty on Sunday
with gusts up to around 40 mph.
