CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – A First Alert Day continues as we deal with strong winds, blowing snow, and slippery travel this morning.
(KCRG)
A Winter Weather Advisory, Winter Storm Warning, and Blizzard Warning remain in effect through midday today. Areas not under winter weather alerts are under a Wind Advisory through this evening.
(KCRG)
Winds remain strong throughout the day, so reduced visibility from blowing snow will be a concern for anyone that sees falling snow or has snow already on the ground.
It will continue to be cold and windy with highs only making it into the middle and upper teens and winds gusting over 40 mph at times through the afternoon. Winds die down this evening as lows fall into the high single digits to near 10.
Tuesday and New Year’s Eve will bring lighter winds and highs in the upper 20s to low 30s. There is a chance for a few light snow showers New Years Eve night as a weak disturbance known as a clipper system passes by the area. We will continue to monitor this system over the next couple of days, but impacts at this point are expected to be slim to none.
We are colder on New Year’s Day, with highs in the upper teens and low 20s, then return to the upper 20s and low 30s by next weekend as precipitation chances remain slim to none.
