Highest ice accumulations likely to occur Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon along and south of Interstate 90. Most of the snow will fall on Tuesday, with the highest accumulations expected in central/western Wisconsin and southeast Minnesota. The system looks to depart by Tuesday night. The forecast is still subject to change, so stay tuned for additional updates.
