Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Cold air poured into the Plains on Saturday, while snow showers developed in parts of the Northeast. A strong low pressure system that brought heavy rain to the Southern Plains and Southeast has advanced eastward and off the East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. However, counter-clockwise flow around this system continued to push moisture into the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Ohio River Valley. In addition to cool air over the region, this allowed for snow showers to develop across Michigan and the Ohio River Valley. Snowfall accumulations ranged from 1 to 3 inches in most areas, with up to 5 inches at higher elevations of the Central Appalachians. Coastal regions remained slightly warmer, which maintained light rain showers from southern Maine through Virginia.

Behind this system, a dominant ridge of high pressure continued to build over the Plains. This system started to stretch eastward over the Mississippi Valley. Flow around this system pulled cold air in from central Canada and kept seasonable cool temperatures over the Central US. High temperatures only reached into the 30s in parts of northern Texas, while the Central and Northern Plains saw highs in the teens, with overnight lows in the negative teens.

Out West, cool conditions persisted with areas of wet weather as a trough of low pressure moved over the Pacific Northwest and into the Intermountain West and Great Basin. Rainfall totals and high elevation snow accumulation remained light. A few light rain showers extended into California as moist onshore flow persisted.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 5:15 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Hard freeze warning remains in effect from midnight tonight to
8 am CST Sunday...
... Wind Advisory has expired...

* timing... between midnight and 8 am CST Sunday temperatures will
fall well below freezing.

* Temperature... lower twenties over entire region... some upper teens
possible well inland and at other normally colder locations.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Everyone should take adequate safety precautions with their heating
systems... and make sure to utilize Carbon monoxide detectors in enclosed
spaces. Extra caution should be used with portable space heaters. Make
sure space heaters are not left unattended and are not used near
flammable materials such as curtains or bed coverings. Open the
faucet slightly for a small stream of water overnight if you have any
exterior open air piping. Damage likely to any early new growth of
sensitive vegetation left unprotected. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio
or your local news media outlets for continuing updates on the cold
weather.

A hard freeze warning means temperatures 20 degrees or lower are imminent
or highly likely. During this period of unusually cold weather... check
on elderly neighbors to make sure they have adequate heat. Outdoor pets
should also have adequate warmth. Area shelters should continue to expect
increased demand.







Fire Weather Warning, Fire Weather Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 6:01 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Red flag warning remains in effect from 10 am to 6 PM CST
Sunday for southwest and south central Alabama for long duration of

are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
red flag warnings.
