A Winter Weather Advisory will go into effect for elevations above 6,500 feet at noon and it will continue until midnight. Most areas above 6,500 feet are projected to see snowfall between 2-4 inches, with some peaks seeing up to seven inches. A dusting of snow is possible down to as low as 3,500 feet.
