Winter has returned! Accumulating snow is expected this evening through tonight as an upper level disturbance and an area of low pressure moving through the Plains interact to give us our first significant snowfall since November. Starting at 4pm this Friday afternoon, light to moderate snowfall will move into SE Wisconsin and continue overnight.
