Snow, slush, wind coming Sunday night: National Weather Service

Winter weather's coming, according to The National Weather Service. Exactly what it will look like will depend on your elevation.

The Winter Weather Advisory runs from 7:00 p.m. Sunday evening to 6:00 a.m. Monday morning, and covers Augusta and Rockingham counties. And yes, there is snow in the forecast.

Total accumulation in higher elevations (above 2,000 feet) coiuld be 2 to 5 inches, according to the advisory. Lower elevations could get anything from a coating of snow "to a slushy inch."

Staunton and Waynesboro sit at an uncomfortable middle elevation close to 2,000 — Staunton's around 1,400 feet above sea level; Waynesboro at nearly 1,300 feet, though obviously it varies practically by every step you take in this hilly area.

The advisory notes slippery road conditions, and that the morning commute could be impacted on Monday. Be careful on driveways, steps and sidewalks, especially your first couple of steps when going outside.

At higher elevations, visibility may be reduced because of "the combination of snow and blowing snow."

Sunday
