NATIONAL SUMMARY
A storm across the Plains today can bring ice accretion to
Iowa in the morning, which can turn to rain from Des Moines
southward in the afternoon. Snow can accumulate in southern
Minnesota, including the Minneapolis metro area, bringing
1-3 inches. Rain will spread across the Mississippi River
Valley, which can lead to ponding on roads. A major storm in
the West will bring heavy rain and wind from the San
Francisco Bay area up to Northern California; this can lead
to power outages, landslides near-steep terrain, localized
flooding and rising creeks and rivers. In the Sierra Nevada,
including at Donner Pass, California, on Interstate 80,
blizzard conditions with heavy snowfall are expected. Travel
along I-5 near Mount Shasta can also be dangerous and
difficult with blizzard conditions.
