Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Precipitation will spread across the East Coast on Saturday, while more rain and mountain snow showers are anticipated for parts of the West. A trough of low pressure and associated cold front continue moving eastward across the Eastern Valleys into the Eastern Seaboard. Cool temperatures to the north will allow for snow showers to develop across the Northeast and New England, while rain showers are likely over the Mid-Atlantic states. Rain showers over the Southeastern states should wind down in the early morning hours as the tail end of the system pushes offshore early in the day. Expect the New York metropolitan area to see 1 to 3 inches of snow, while the Washington D.C. area will see a messy combination of snow and freezing rain as high temperatures reach into the lower 40s.

Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure continues to build in from the Plains, pushing cold and dry air in from Canada. This allows for plenty of sunshine to spread from the Plains over the Mississippi River Valley and into the Eastern Valleys. Expect the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest to see highs in the teens again, while the Midwest will see highs in the 20s. Strong winds will accompany this system, pushing windchill values below zero in these areas. The Southern Plains will remain in the 40s on Saturday.

Out West, a trough of low pressure pushes a cold front over the Pacific Northwest and continues pulling moisture onshore with it. This will kick up more rain showers with high elevation snow showers likely in the Cascades. The tail end of the frontal boundary will sweep through California, bringing light rain showers to the coasts and interior valleys. Expect light snow showers in the Sierra Nevadas by Saturday evening.

Hard Freeze Warning, Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:30 AM CST on February 11, 2012

... Wind Advisory in effect from 11 am this morning to 5 PM CST
this afternoon...
... Hard freeze warning in effect from midnight tonight to 8 am
CST Sunday...

The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a hard freeze
warning... which is in effect from midnight tonight to 8 am CST
Sunday. The hard freeze watch is no longer in effect.
A Wind Advisory has also been issued. This Wind Advisory
is in effect from 11 am this morning to 5 PM CST this afternoon.

* Timing... wind gusts in excess of 25 mph between 11 am this morning
to 5 PM CST this afternoon. Between midnight and 8 am CST Sunday for
temperatures near 20 or possibly below 20.

* Winds... 20 to 25 mph with frequent gusts between 30 and 35 mph
likely.

* Temperature... near 20 or possibly below 20 tonight.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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.

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 Wind Advisory means that winds of 25 to 39 mph are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
