MONROE - A flood watch for Green, Lafayette and surrounding counties turned into a winter storm warning from the National Weather Service Tuesday.
The winter storm warning, in effect until 6 p.m. Wednesday, is expected to bring heavy and blowing snow, with accumulations of six to eight inches by late Wednesday. The heaviest snow will be during the morning hours, but snow will linger through the day.
Winds of 15 to 25 mph from the northwest could gust up to 30 mph.
The combination of snow and blowing snow will cause slippery roads and greatly reduced visibility, making travel very hazardous or impossible.
Brisk northwest winds will plunge an arctic air mass into southern Wisconsin Wednesday night through Friday, with very cold temperatures and wind chills expected. Wind chill advisories may be issued.
