South-central Wisconsin could see several inches of snow along and north of a line from Madison to Milwaukee Wednesday night into Thursday, with more rain expected to the south, according to forecasters.

A strong low pressure will develop over the central Great Plains Tuesday night and then likely track just south and east of Wisconsin, the National Weather Service said.

The Madison area could see 4 to 6 inches of snow, with 6 to 12 inches in counties to the north, and just 1 to 2 inches in southeast Wisconsin.

“However, the details of the storm track and eventual temperatures will change, affecting the placement of snow, mixed precipitation and rainfall,” the Weather Service said.

The Weather Service also said that the Wisconsin River at Portage is receding and should drop from moderate flood stage to minor flood stage by late Monday afternoon or evening and below the flood stage of 17 feet by Tuesday afternoon. At 5 a.m. Monday, the river was at 18.6 feet in Portage.

In Madison on Monday, look for mostly sunny skies, a high near 45 and light and variable winds becoming southwest winds at 5 to 10 miles per hour in the afternoon.
