Forecasters say it should be smooth sailing to travel Iowa’s roads on Thanksgiving Day, but some computer models are showing a wintery storm system developing on Black Friday that could make getting home a challenge.
Iowa State Patrol Trooper Paul Gardner says motorists will need to keep a sharp eye on the forecast.
If the threat materializes and we get a heavy snow Friday or into the weekend, Gardner says the DOT will be taking care of the roads and extra law officers will be out as well.
Right now, the National Weather Service forecast for the Delaware County area is calling for snow likely Friday night into Saturday, with a 30 to 50% chance of snow Saturday night into Sunday night. The weather will be turning colder as well, dropping into the 30s on Wednesday and 20s by next week.
