MILWAUKEE (AP) - Wisconsin is bracing for a strong winter storm that forecasters say could dump anywhere from 3 to 10 inches of snow across the state.
The Journal Sentinel reports the highest snowfall amounts are expected to begin Tuesday afternoon in the southwest part of the state.
Winter weather warnings and advisories cover nearly all of Wisconsin and portions of neighboring states as a strong winter storm is expected in the region Tuesday into Wednesday.
A winter weather advisory for 3 to 6 inches of snow is in effect for metro Milwaukee. The counties included in the advisory are Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee, Racine, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Dodge, Marquette, Green Lake, Jefferson, Walworth and Kenosha.
To the west, a winter storm warning has been issued from 4 p.m. Tuesday to noon Wednesday for southwest and south-central Wisconsin including Dane, Rock, Sauk, Columbia, Green, Iowa and Lafayette counties where 6 to 8 inches of snow is forecast, according to the National Weather Service.
Chris Stumpf, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sullivan, said the storm should bring the “first good shot of snow that we’ve had” this season.
