Weather Summary

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 Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:06 AM CST on February 13, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory now in effect until 9 PM CST this
evening...

The Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect until 9 PM CST this
evening.

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

* Snow accumulations... two to three inches of snow and sleet are
expected. Some locally higher amounts will be possible near the
Missouri border in the higher terrain.

* Ice accumulations... ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an
inch are possible... although just a few hundredths will be
more common.

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

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or
freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for
slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.
