A Blizzard Watch has been issued for much of Iowa, with a strong storm moving toward the state and expected to arrive on Monday.
“This will spread a wide swatch of accumulating snowfall to the region---some of this likely heavy,” the National Weather Service said in its forecast.
The Blizzard Watch is in effect from Monday evening through Tuesday evening. The middle of the state, including Ames, Waterloo, and Charles City, are forecast to receive 8 to 12 inches of snow.
