Winds of 20-35mph are possible along with some light snow across the advisory area. This will cause the light powdery snow to blow around quite easily leading to a reduction in visibilities. Conditions should improve by late this evening into the overnight hours.

Outside the advisory area, some snow and blowing snow is also possible as well, although not up to the criteria level of an advisory, visibilities could be reduced with any light snow that falls and any winds that may gust over 30mph.
