The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory starting Monday evening as a wave of snow is expected to move through the area.

The weather agency stated total snow accumulation of 2 to 3 inches is expected with locally higher amounts possible. The snow is expected to be light and fluffy.

People should plan on slippery road conditions, as widespread blowing snow could reduce visibility.
