As snow continues to exit to the southeast, wet and slushy conditions have been left behind. With temperatures expected to drop below the freezing point tonight, travel headaches could linger into Thursday morning's commute. Here on the surface, temperatures hovered near the freezing point of 32F through the day, resulting in big, wet flakes to fall and accumulate across the area. With plenty of melting taking place on well-traveled roads, a lot of the fallen snow has become puddles this evening.

These strong winds and dry conditions on the ground have prompted a elevated fire risk for portions of North Iowa until 8 p.m. this evening.
