NOAA says residents in the entire region can expect two rounds of precipitation.

The first part of the winter system is expected to be a period of light snow in the morning followed by heavier snow, sleet and freezing rain Monday night into early Tuesday.

Motorists, especially for the Monday evening commute and into the Tuesday morning commute, should be aware of the possibility of not only snow-covered road but snow over ice and very slippery conditions.
