DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Holiday shoppers and travelers could see a blanket of snow across parts of Nebraska and Iowa this weekend.

The National Weather Service says a storm system is heading toward the region and a band of moderate to heavy snow will develop Saturday from Colorado through Nebraska into northwest Iowa and southern Minnesota.

Four to seven inches of snow are possible in the heaviest bands, and travel could be hazardous.

The storm is expected to bring rain Friday night before the snow.

Winter weather advisories and winter storm watches have been issued for parts of Nebraska and Iowa. Just how much snow and where it will fall will depend on the storm's track.

The snow should taper off Saturday night, with sunny to party cloudy skies on Sunday.
