The snow is expected to last all night until Tuesday and could even last until Tuesday evening. This long-lasting event can bring more than 6 inches of snowfall over much of the Chicagoland area and northern Illinois.

The big question is, will we see all of this? As of now, it looks far south of Wisconsin – especially counties and towns along the state border can see up to 2 inches of snow. Totals drop dramatically in Madison and there will be a clear cut in snow totals just north of the metro. However, the models were inconsistent with the path of the storm system. Any movement north or south can dramatically change the total snowfall. Light to moderate snow can start in Madison Monday evening and continue until Tuesday afternoon. Along the national border, this snow could be more moderate and sometimes heavy. Higher totals are expected in this region. Northwesterly winds will pick up, causing blowing snow and blowing snow. Gusts could reach 25 mph.

A winter storm warning was issued tomorrow for counties in northern Illinois. Traveling in northern Illinois will be difficult after the onset of constant snowfall tomorrow afternoon. No winter weather headlines were released for Wisconsin counties on Sunday evening. We will continue to monitor the system trace closely.

Monday’s highs will peak in the upper 20s. As the snow clears on Tuesday, the clouds remain in place. Wednesday offers another opportunity for a few flurries. Accumulations and travel impacts will be minimal, if any. The sun is bursting with strong pressure to end the week. The peaks go up in the mid-30s next weekend.
