6 A.M. road condition update: Here’s a look at I-235 near Second Ave. this morning. The wind has died down and snow is coming down at a slower pace, but it’s still slick out there. We’ve seen several crashes throughout the morning. Avoid travel if you can! Local 5 News

Accidents have been numerous on I80 and ultimately the interstate is closed in Western Iowa. You can see one semi that has blocked the lanes of travel under the bridge here on the west side of the Des Moines Metro. Wait a second... is that Meagan MacPherson on the story! #IAWX

[3/19 1009a] If you've seen an orange or brown tint to the sky sometime this morning over central or eastern Iowa, this is from blowing dust picked up by strong wind from New Mexico to the southern Plains yesterday and overnight. This is also seen from our satellites. 🤯 #iawx

Major turnout for the No Kings Day protest in Des Moines today. Around 4,000 people signed up to attend, but total attendance was likely even higher based on the crowds we saw. Attendees chanted, delivered speeches, and ended with a march around the Capitol. Local 5 News
