Much of the state is expected to receive several inches of snow by the end the storm that is expected to start Monday night, but the worst of it should hit areas to the south and east.

The National Weather Service in Sullivan near Milwaukee is forecasting between 6 and 9 inches of snow to accumulate in the Madison area by early Wednesday, when the storm is expected to end.

A release from Madison Streets Division superintendent Al Schumacher said the city plans to plow and salt main arteries during the storm, turning to residential areas after the snow stops falling.

The most hazardous part of the storm is expected to start this afternoon, as winds pick up to between 15 and 25 mph, with possible gusts of up to 30 mph, said meteorologist Marc Kavinsky.

"I think there will definitely be drifting ... and a chance of blowing snow," which could reduce visibility in the region to less than a mile, especially on highways which run from east to west, he said.

The snow is expected to be dry and light, he said, which adds to the risk of blowing snow. A winter weather advisory will be in effect for much of south-central Wisconsin until 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Still, the worst of the storm will likely stay clear of south-central Wisconsin, he said.

Areas in the southeastern Wisconsin could get up to a foot of snow as lake-effect snow gets added to the mix, he said. Snowfall and wind speeds are expected to be more intense in Iowa and Illinois, he added.
