DES MOINES, Iowa —

We are entering a very active weather pattern with potential blizzard conditions Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

We don't expect any new snowfall, but very strong winds will lead to a "ground blizzard" as the recent snowfall is picked up and blown around. Most of the state, which still has several inches of snow on the ground after back-to-back weekend snowstorms, will see wind gusts over 50 mph overnight.
