Weather Underground Forecast for Monday, February 13, 2012.

The trough of low pressure that brought unsettled weather to the West on Sunday will advance into the Plains on Monday with more mixed precipitation. The trough will support a low and associated warm front moving eastward into the Southern Plains. As the system progresses, rain showers with periods of heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms will spread from parts of central/eastern Texas into western Louisiana, mixed precipitation will develop in parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and snow will blanket parts of the Central Plains, Mid-Mississippi Valley, and parts of the western Ohio Valley. Areas from eastern Texas through Arkansas should expect the heaviest precipitation totals. Heightened winter weather conditions will allow Winter Weather Advisories and a few Winter Storm Warnings to remain in effect through the day. Elsewhere east of the Continental Divide, lake-effect snow showers will continue along parts of the Lower Great Lakes Snowbelt.

In the West, a Pacific cold front pushing across the Pacific Northwest will drop southward across northern California, bringing coastal and valley rain and significant snowfall to the Sierra Nevadas.

Winter Storm Warning
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:06 AM CST on February 13, 2012

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 PM CST this
evening...

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 PM CST this
evening.

* Timing... snow and sleet will continue through the morning hours.
As warmer air moves north later this morning... the precipitation
will change over to a mix of snow... sleet... and freezing rain
for the afternoon hours. The precipitation will begin to taper
off this evening... but drizzle and freezing drizzle will be
possible through the overnight hours.

* Snow accumulations... two to four inches of snow and sleet are
expected... with the heaviest totals in the higher elevations of
the Ouachita and Ozark mountains. Locally higher amounts are
possible in areas between the Arkansas and Buffalo River
valleys.

* Ice accumulations... after precipitation changes to freezing
rain... some ice accumulation will occur. Accumulation is
expected to range around a tenth of an inch... with isolated
higher totals possible south of the Arkansas River valley.

* Impact... travel conditions will be treacherous... as roadways
become ice and snow covered.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow...
sleet... and ice are expected or occurring. This will make travel
very hazardous or impossible.
