Current weather forecasts indicate a winter weather advisory for the city of Fort Dodge.

Accumulations of up to 2 inches or more of snow is possible through today.

Because weather can change abruptly, residents are encouraged to stay tuned to local weather forecasts.

Due to the impending weather advisory residents are reminded that a parking prohibition will automatically go into effect on all residential emergency snow routes when there has been an accumulation of 2 inches or more of snow.

The parking prohibition will be in effect until 24 hours after the snow stops falling.

To view a map of all emergency snow routes, please visit the city’s website at https://www.fortdodgeiowa.org/.

For those people not on snow routes, please park your car off the street if possible as it will be easier to plow all streets.

You may park across a sidewalk or on the parking right-of-way until the snow has been cleared. Residents are encouraged to use caution when driving.
