First Alert Day: Wet, Heavy Snow Continues This Morning

QUAD CITIES, Iowa/Ill. (KWQC) -- ***FIRST ALERT DAY in effect until Noon for accumulating snow***

The weekend starts with morning snow, as a potent winter storm system moves through the upper Midwest. Bands of wet, heavy snow will continue across much of the region this morning, gradually coming to an end by late morning/early afternoon.

Accumulations will be likely for much of the region, with totals ranging from 1″ to 3″ south, to 4″ to 6″ in the metro, to 6″ to 8″ in our northern counties. Expect slick roads and visibility issues this morning. Also keep in mind this type of wet, heavy snow can be strenuous to shovel for some.

WINTER STORM WARNINGS and WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES remain in effect until 1 PM for much of the TV6 viewing area. Conditions should begin to dry out this afternoon, as highs reach the 40′s.

FIRST ALERT DAYS are issued to inform you of inconvenient, hazardous, or potentially dangerous weather in our viewing area--weather that could impact you and your family. Look for frequent updates on air, online, on our social media platforms and on the QC Weather App.
