(David Caulfield)/ABC 57 Meteorologist) The National Weather Service of Northern Indiana has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the 95.3 MNC listening area. The advisory begins at 11 a.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 9, and ends at 6 pm. EST.

Moderate to heavy snow is possible today across Michiana. Snow will begin around 12 p.m., and will initially be heavy at times.

A persistent breeze of 15 to 25 mph will accompany the higher snowfall rates early this afternoon, which could greatly reduce visibility.

Travel this afternoon will be difficult across the area.

Rain should mix with the snow this evening before precipitation changes completely to rain tonight.

Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are still expected for most of Michiana, with the bulk of the snow falling early in the afternoon.

The start of the work week still looks quiet and mostly cloudy with highs in the middle 30s.

Another round of rain and snow is possible for Wednesday and the first part of Thursday before a cold Valentine’s Day comes our way.
