A winter storm warning has been issued for parts of Northeast Wisconsin as the first of two weather systems moves in this evening, bringing heavy snow showers and strong winds. The system is expected to bring 3-6 inches of snow to the hardest hit areas, along with wind gusts up to 55 mph. A second, more significant winter storm is also on the way for the weekend, with the potential for 12-18 inches of snow across the region.
