Jewell County
Mitchell County
Mixed precipitation is expected. Total snow accumulations of up to three inches and ice accumulations of up to two-tenths of an inch are forecast. Winds will average 15 to 20 mph with gusts to around 25 to 30 mph, initially out of the northeast but then turning northwesterly Wednesday night.
