The heaviest snow bands could bring 1 to 1.5 inches of snow per hour, leading to reduced visibility and slick roads, and accumulations of up to 5 inches in some areas. Temperatures that are 10 degrees below the average may increase the probability of snow sticking to area roadways. Conditions are expected to improve by Tuesday, with temperatures returning to the 40s.
