Friday Night Winter Storm Update

Here's what you need to know about this weekend's winter storm...we're looking at 5-8 inches falling in the Quad Cities and surrounding areas with lower totals to the SE.  The main reason for the lower totals will be more sleet and frz rain mixing in so it's not really a "better" weather forecast down there! 

The Winter Storm Warning goes from Sat 6pm through Sun 6pm.  While there could be a little sleet and frz rain before 6pm things will really go downhill starting Saturday evening.  The worst of the weather will be from 9pm Sat night through 7am on Sunday. 

Not only will we see snow, winds will gust close to 30 mph at times reducing visibility and blowing plowed snow right back onto some roads!

Bottom line - driving should be avoided Sat night and early Sunday, the weather will be bad in pretty much all directions around the Quad Cities!
