It took a few days after the turn of the calendar to March, but it appears that the new month will in fact make it’s entrance like a lion over the next 24-36 hours in the KCII listening area. Scattered showers and even thunderstorms are expected in southeast Iowa throughout Tuesday. Isolated flooding can’t be ruled out with 1-2 inches of rainfall possible. Overnight into Wednesday, strong winds out of the northwest will develop and sustain at 30-40mph, with gusts up to 55mph possible. The National Weather Service in the Quad Cities has issued a wind advisory for the entire KCII listening area from 6a.m. To 6a.m. Wednesday, March 5th. Along with the wind hazard, light snowfall is expected with a trace to two inches possible. Winds combined with snowfall could lead to periods of low visibility, making travel difficult.
