Winter weather travel advisory in effect.
What:
Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm.
Snow, heavy at times, which could reduce visibilities.

This evening into Wednesday afternoon.
Discussion:
A low pressure system tracking across the region will bring snow and local blowing snow beginning this evening. Snow will ease to light flurries Wednesday afternoon. Flurries are expected to persist into Wednesday night.
Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance. If you must drive, be prepared for areas of poor visibility. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
