A​ winter storm will bring snow, ice, and winds to portions of the Midwest and Northeast United States starting Monday and lasting until Tuesday, forecasters say.

“A swath of snow and ice are expected spread across the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast today while a secondary low pressure system develops and the pair of surface waves drift slowly toward the East Coast,” the NWS wrote Monday. “Snow totals by Wednesday morning are forecast to be between 4-8 inches from the Upper Midwest to Northeast with locally higher amounts possible,” it added. “Freezing rain accumulations potentially exceeding a tenth of an inch over parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin could cause hazardous driving conditions.”
