Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, February 10, 2012.

Expect active weather to move into the East on Friday, as a trough of low pressure moves from the Southern Plains and into the Eastern Valleys. Flow around this system will pull moisture and energy in from the Gulf of Mexico. This will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi River Valley throughout the day. There is a slight chance that these storms will turn severe with strong winds and heavy downpours. The northern side of this system will push a cold front into the Midwest, which will move through the Great Lakes and into the Ohio River Valley. Expect light and scattered snow showers to develop along the front as it passes through northern Michigan and into the eastern Ohio Valley and the Central Appalachians. Warmer temperatures ahead of this system will allow for rain showers to develop in parts of the Mid-Atlantic states and the Tennessee Valley.

Out West, a weak trough of low pressure moves onshore from the Pacific Ocean, bringing some moisture onshore with it. This will produce more rain and high elevation snow showers over the Pacific Northwest. Some of this moisture will stretch southward into northern California, allowing for light rain and high elevation snow showers to spread into the northern Sierras.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 10:55 AM CST on February 10, 2012

... Wintry precipitation looking likely for Sunday night into
Monday...

A mix of wintry precipitation is expected across eastern Oklahoma
and northwest Arkansas from late Sunday night... continuing into
the day Monday. The timing of precipitation could mean impacts for
the Monday morning commute.

An Arctic cold front will move southward today and tonight... ushering
the coldest air of the season into the area. Windy conditions
following the cold frontal passage could cause subzero wind chills
Saturday morning. The cold air will persist across the region
through the weekend.

A fast moving storm system will move out of the western United
States late in the weekend... resulting in precipitation
development across the plains region. With cold air already in
place... the precipitation will likely begin as snow or sleet across
most of northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas late Sunday
night and early Monday morning... with rain or freezing rain across
southeast Oklahoma.

As the storm system moves closer to and over the area... low and
mid level temperatures will increase from south to north... which
will cause the snow and sleet to transition to rain or freezing
rain by Monday morning. Enough mid level dry air may move into
the region by Monday afternoon to result in a transition to
drizzle or freezing drizzle before precipitation ends Monday
night.

The highest snow accumulations will likely occur near the Kansas
and Missouri borders... as well as in the higher terrain areas of
northwest Arkansas. At this time... it appears that 1 to 3 inches
of snow accumulation will be possible... however... these forecast
amounts are not final. These amounts will be refined as new data
are analyzed over the weekend.

There is also the potential for some minor ice accumulations to
the south of the snow accumulations. Prolonged power outages or
similar major ice impacts are not expected... although minor ice
related impacts may occur as winds increase behind the system.

Details of this event continue to be refined... so interested
parties should monitor forecasts and future statements over the
weekend.
