A Wind Advisory has been issued for the region from 6 p.m. Monday, March 7 until 4 a.m. Tuesday, March 8, the National Weather Service announced.

Gusts of up to 50 miles per hour are possible during that time.

"Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects," the weather service said. "Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result."

As the storm system passes, temperatures will fall to the low 30s overnight into Tuesday, March 8.

Tuesday's high temperature will be in the mid 40s under mostly sunny skies.

Clouds will increase Tuesday night and the overnight low temperature will be at or below the freezing mark.

There will be a chance for snow after daybreak on Wednesday, March 9, according to the weather service, followed by a chance for a mix of rain and snow and then rain as the high temperature slowly climbs to the low 40s under mostly cloudy skies.

It's too early to project possible snowfall amounts as there is uncertainty surrounding the timing, track and strength of the storm system.
