Weather-related Announcements
Iowa Road Conditions
Minnesota Road Conditions
The season's first winter storm will hit the state beginning early Saturday
morning,
and lasting through Saturday night, bringing with it some moderate to heavy
snow
accumulations and the potential for ice storm conditions. Winter Storm
Warnings have
been issued for most of our listening area.
Snow is expected to move into the southwest sections of the AM-1490 KRIB,
Star 106,
93.9 The Country Moose, AM-1300 KGLO and 102-7 The Blaze listening area
early Saturday
morning. While our temps will likely stay below freezing, the snow could
transition
into freezing rain during the afternoon, before switching back over to snow
late
Saturday afternoon/evening.
With winds expected to be strong Saturday and Saturday evening, in the 20 to
30 MPH
range, whiteout conditions as well as ice storm conditions could become a
concern.
Power outages could also become a concern once again, especially in
north-central
Iowa, where freezing rain is more likely.
Nonetheless, be prepared for the worst. Get together your winter survival
kit and
keep it in a safe place and keep it tuned to AM-1490 KRIB, Star 106, 93.9
The Country
Moose, AM-1300 KGLO and 102-7 The Blaze for the latest winter weather
announcements
this weekend.

Season's First Winter Storm On The Way
Breaking News
Winter Storm Watch in effect starting Saturday morning
The season's first winter storm will hit the state beginning early Saturday
morning,
and lasting through Saturday night, bringing with it some moderate
to heavy snow accumulations and the potential for ice storm conditions.
As of 3:00 AM Friday, snow is expected to move into the southwest sections
of the
AM-1490 KRIB, Star 106, 93.9 The Country Moose, AM-1300 KGLO and 102-7
The Blaze listening area early Saturday morning. While our temps will likely
stay
below freezing, the snow could transition into freezing rain during the
afternoon, before switching back over to snow late Saturday
afternoon/evening.
With winds expected to be strong Saturday and Saturday evening, in the 20 to
30 MPH
range, whiteout conditions as well as ice storm conditions could become
a concern. Power outages could also become a concern once again, especially
in north-central
Iowa, where freezing rain is more likely.
Nonetheless, be prepared for the worst. Get together your winter survival
kit and
keep it in a safe place and keep it tuned to AM-1490 KRIB, Star 106,
93.9 The Country Moose, AM-1300 KGLO and 102-7 The Blaze for the latest
winter weather
announcements this weekend.

WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM
WATCH, WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.
SNOW AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 3 TO 6 INCHES BEFORE THE
PRECIPITATION CHANGES TO SLEET AND THEN EVENTUALLY FREEZING RAIN. HIGHEST
SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD BE IN THE FOND DU LAC AND SHEBOYGAN AREAS WITH LESSER
AMOUNTS TOWARD THE ILLINOIS BORDER.

OF MORE CONCERN IS THE AMOUNT OF GLAZE THAT COULD ACCUMULATE ON TOP OF THE
SNOW BY SATURDAY NIGHT. CURRENT INDICATES ARE THAT WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATIONS
OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN, TOTALING ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH, WILL FALL
ON TOP OF THE SNOW. NEEDLESS TO SAY, TRAVEL CONDITIONS COULD BECOME VERY
DIFFICULT. THE POTENTIAL FOR ICE ACCUMULATIONS TO DAMAGE TREES AND
POWERLINES ALSO NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED.

ICE ACCUMULATIONS WOULD LIKELY BE HIGHEST AWAY FROM THE WARMER SHORES OF
LAKE MICHIGAN.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW, SLEET,
OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST
FORECASTS.
