Thus far, March is certainly doing its best to come in like a lion.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory in effect from 6 p.m. Tuesday through 7 p.m. Wednesday for the Pittsburgh region, including the Sewickley area.

Snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are predicted, according to the weather service.

The flakes are expected to start late Tuesday afternoon as a mix of rain and snow moves into the area. The most intense snow could fall overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.

The weather could cause hazardous travel conditions due to snow-covered streets. Drivers should prepare for limited visibility on the roads.

Temperatures will reach a high of 40 degrees Tuesday before dropping to 29 later in the evening, according to the service.
