Winter Storm Update (Sat. 8pm)

The winter storm that we've been advertising is finally here.  A Winter Storm Warning continues until Sunday at 6PM.  Tonight we've been getting reports of a mixture of freezing rain, sleet and snow across many hometowns, especially from the QC and points southeast.  As we go throughout the evening, we will gradually transition to all snow, and that snow will be moderate to heavy at times.  Here are a look at snowfalls you can expect by Sunday afternoon.

Areas SE of the Quad Cities will see considerably less due to the fact that the mixed precipitation is expected to last just a little longer.

The snow is expected to wrap up by midday Sunday here in the QC, but as you may have noticed our Winter Storm Warning continues until 6PM.  That's because winds will pick up out of the northwest, gusting to 30mph at times which will cause some blowing and drifting of the snow.  Travel will no doubt be treacherous early Sunday morning so if you have to, take it real slow.
