Inclement weather will start Thursday morning with 15 to 30 miles per hour winds and possible gusts of more than 40 miles per hour.
These winds could persist into Thursday, blowing and drifting snow.
Starting Thursday afternoon and continuing into the evening, one to two inches of snowfall is expected.
The advisory warns of limited visibility and near-whiteout conditions caused by the blowing and drifting snow.
