The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning starting Thursday morning at 9 through 6am Friday morning which includes Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Waverly, and more. The Corridor is under a Winter Storm Watch for the time period. We checked with TV-9’s Kaj O’Mara for his thoughts on the upcoming storm.
“The system that hits us tomorrow will probably be a real doozie. Some things we have concern with:
-Freezing rain to start the day, with a quick transition to snow
-Blizzard conditions rapidly developing towards Waterloo by 10am, CR/IC by 1pm or so
-Falling temps in the afternoon, blowing snow, iced over roads, general nastiness
He encourages people to have full gas tanks, jumper cables as well as a charged cell phone should they become stranded. Then bitterly cold temps arrive for the weekend as well.
