❄ Winter Storm Watch for Kossuth and Faribault MN from Thursday morning through late Thursday night

…Rain changing to windswept snow Thursday into Thursday night…

A winter storm will track through the region on Thursday with travel impacts likely over northwest and north central Iowa and areas in neighboring states. While the precipitation will start as rain Thursday morning, a cold front will push through Iowa during the day that will rapidly increase winds and deliver colder air. This will cause the rain to quickly change to snow from northwest Iowa southeastward through the day. Windswept snow will lead to significantly reduced visibilities over northwest into portions of north central Iowa and may approach blizzard conditions. While much of the snow will end Thursday evening, winds will remain strong and gusty from the northwest overnight into Friday with blowing snow remaining a concern for travelers.
