DANVILLE, Va. – A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the Danville area starting at 7 p.m. Saturday and extending through noon on Sunday.

The National Weather Service says this winter storm system could bring 1-to-3 inches of snow to the region.

The advisory covers south central Virginia and north central and northwest North Carolina.

National Weather Service summary:

A vigorous upper-level disturbance will track along the Gulf
Coast and into the Southeast U.S. tonight moving northeast along
the South and North Carolina coast lines Sunday and then to off
the Mid-Atlantic coast by Sunday night. This will result in a
period of moderate to heavy snow Saturday night and early Sunday.
The heaviest snow will track from the high country of western
North Carolina along the Blue Ridge and into central Virginia, or
roughly from Boone to Blacksburg to Lexington. Snow amounts of 4-6
inches are expected in these areas and locations to the west with
generally 1-3 inches east of this line. The snow is likely to
begin as rain across areas of the Piedmont east of a Martinsville
to Lynchburg line and some sleet is also possible in these areas
as well, which will reduce the snow amounts to less than 3 inches.
