The snowfall is set to begin Sunday evening and spread from west to east. By Monday evening, the snow will switch to flurries.
“The light nature of the snow in combination with colder temperatures may produce localized whiteouts on highways and over exposed areas on Monday,” the warning read.
“Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.”
