Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday, February 12, 2012.

The East dries out on Sunday, but wet weather continues moving through the West. A trough of low pressure advances eastward over the Great Basin and Central Rockies, producing moderate snow showers over Utah and Colorado. Winter weather advisories have been issued for parts of western Colorado as snowfall accumulations may reach from 6 to 8 inches by Sunday evening. Most of Utah, western Wyoming, and northern New Mexico should see lighter snow showers with accumulation around 1 to 2 inches. The tail end of this trough will extend into western Texas, bringing snow and freezing rain showers into northwestern Texas. Precipitation from this system will move into the Texas Panhandle late Sunday into Monday morning. Winter storm warnings have been issued for the region as 3 to 5 inches of snow are possible, with ice accumulations from 0.10 to 0.30 inches by Sunday evening. This will cause dangerous roads and travel conditions.

Meanwhile, another trough of low pressure and associated cold front approach the West Coast on Sunday. This system will reach the coasts of the Pacific Northwest and northern California in the afternoon and evening hours, bringing more rain showers. Temperatures will remain cool over most of the West Coast as this system pushes clouds and moisture onshore.

In the East, a strong ridge of high pressure allows for dry, sunny, and cool weather to persist. This system creates strong flow from the north, pushing cold air into the Plains and Eastern Valleys. Expect highs to range in the 20s in the Midwest, while the Ohio River Valley and Tennessee Valleys will see highs in the 30s. Freeze advisories have been issued for the Gulf states as low temperatures will drop into the 20s Sunday night. Dangerous fire conditions spread over the Southeastern states due to high pressure creating a very dry airmas with strong winds.

The National Weather Service in Hanford has issued a

Significant weather advisory for...
southeastern Kern County in central California

Until 800 am PST.

Gusty winds behind a departing cold front will continue to affect
the area through sunrise. Gusts to 35 to 45 mph will continue from
below the Tehachapi Pass to the Kern County line.

Locations that could be affected include...
   Edwards AFB... Rosamond... Mojave.

The gusty winds can make driving difficult... especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution when driving in the affected
areas.

... Storm to reach the central California interior Monday...

A Pacific storm will spread rain and mountain snow across the
central California interior Monday... with gusty winds over the Kern
County mountains and deserts Monday afternoon and evening.

A very cold airmass is associated with this storm... and snow levels
will drop rapidly Monday. The snow level at Yosemite will be around
4000 feet Monday... dropping to around 3000 feet by Tuesday morning.
Snow levels will be higher to the south... but are expected to lower
to around 4000 feet in the Tehachapi Mountains by late Monday.

Although there is some uncertainty as to expected rainfall and
snowfall amounts... computer models forecast up to a half inch of
rain on the San Joaquin Valley floor for Monday and Monday night. In
the southern Sierra Nevada... snowfall accumulations of 5 to 8 inches
will be possible over the high country. Light accumulations could
fall on the Grapevine and Tehachapi Pass.

The storm also will bring gusty winds to the Kern County mountains
and deserts. Gusts up to 45 mph will be possible over the ridges and
through and below favored passes and canyons... especially Monday
afternoon and evening.

People planning travel into the southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi
Mountains Monday and Monday night should be prepared for winter
driving conditions. Carry chains... warm clothing... water and non
perishable food. Allow extra travel time and be prepared for delays
or Road closures. The gusty winds may make travel in the Kern County
mountains and deserts difficult at times for high profile vehicles
such as campers and trailers.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... or your favorite news
source... for updates on this storm. Or visit our web site at
www.Weather.Gov/Hanford.
