It might be time to break out the snow shovels and ice scrapers with three rounds of wintry precipitation possible this week.

A winter weather advisory has been issued for portions of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland from 3 a.m. to noon on Sunday.

The advisory is in effect for the Shenandoah Valley, Blue Ridge mountains and the Allegheny front, according to the National Weather Service.

Mixed precipitation is expected with snow and sleet accumulations up to one inch and ice accumulations around a light glaze. Winds are expected to gust up to 35 miles per hour.

Slippery road conditions are likely, according to the NWS.

Most of the precipitation, whether it be wintry or plain rain, will move out Sunday evening with a cold front sweeping through the region. Clouds will decrease and temperatures will drop into the teens and 20s Sunday night.

A potential winter storm could bring a wintry mix to the region later Monday night and Tuesday.

Precipitation chances return Friday with a wintry mix possible.
