Winter Storm Warnings

Posted: 04 Feb 2014 05:45 AM

The NWS has a Winter Storm Warning in effect for much of southern Iowa from today into Wednesday morning. The featured map presents the total number of Winter Storm Warnings issued by the NWS since late 2005. Northeastern Iowa has the largest totals in the state with the largest total (130) in the country for Flattops forecast zone in Colorado. Winter Storm Warnings are typically issued for significant snowfall accumulations over a twelve or more hour period. Our snowfalls so far this winter have not been excessive, so the number of warnings issued has been lower than recent average.
