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.
