As forecast, freezing rain fell through Friday night and into Saturday morning, coating streets, highways, and interstates and creating many travel troubles. Here’s a look at some of the reported ice accumulations.

In addition to freezing rain and some snow, parts of the state received a soaking rain, as shown below:

Temperatures rose enough in the southern and central parts of the state to melt a little of the accumulation. Road and street crews worked hard through the night to assist. Des Moines was stuck at 32 degrees at the airport for much of the day.

Your weather timeline takes you into Monday:

Precipitation in the WHO 13 viewing area should end by around 10 p.m., but the troubles won’t all end at that time.

Temperatures will again fall below freezing in many areas. This will mean refreezing in the morning in many spots, and caution should be used, especially on side streets and sidewalks.

Fog, at least of the patchy variety, will form overnight and will also freeze on many surfaces. This will add to the friction shortage, but may make for great opportunities for photographers Sunday morning if rime ice accumulates. Again, be careful out there when traveling.

The forecast beyond is mostly quiet, but we could see some light snow in the north Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. We’ll keep you informed.

Highs for the next six days can be found in the following gallery:

Temperatures look to stay at or above average as we head through Christmas and toward the end of the month. We also look to stay drier than what is normal for this time of year.
