The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Marathon and Lincoln counties in central Wisconsin until 7 a.m. Monday. Heavy snow is expected with total snow accumulations between 6 and 10 inches. Patchy blowing wind could also reduce visibility in open areas tonight. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning commute, the weather service said.
