Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday, February 07, 2012.

Tuesday's weather pattern featured a frontal system from northern New England to the Southern Plains and a strong ridge of high pressure nosed southward across much of the Intermountain West and Central U.S. In addition, a Pacific storm system brought wet and cool weather to the West Coast.

The front extended from New England southwestward through the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and Southern Plains produced snow and rain along its path Tuesday. Widespread snow showers fell mostly north of the front, while rain and isolated thunderstorms developed south of the front. Parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle saw snowfall accumulations 2 to 3 inches with locally higher amounts.

Out West, a strong Pacific storm system approaches the coast Monday night and Tuesday, which brought widespread rain showers and mountain snow across the West Coast. Apart from the precipitation, this system produced strong winds 25 to 45 mph with gusts to 70 mph over the coastal regions Monday night and Tuesday morning. Farther inland, scattered snow showers fell over parts of the Rockies.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continued over the Florida Peninsula Tuesday. This was due to a broad area of low pressure from western Cuba northward into the Florida Straits.

Special Weather Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 12:41 PM PST on February 07, 2012

... Wet and windy weather today through tonight...

A low pressure system moving southeast off the coast through
Wednesday... will bring cloudy skies and light precipitation across
portions of Southern California. A few bands of light rain have
moved in from the southwest this morning... but significant
accumulations are not expected until later this afternoon and
evening.

The rainfall is expected to be light... occasionally moderate with
most areas getting less than a quarter inch through Wednesday
morning. However... heavier amounts are possible if the storm tracks
a little closer to the coast than expected.

The snow level will be around 6000 feet. Some locations in the San
Bernardino and Riverside County mountains above 7000 feet could
receive some accumulating snow... but amounts look to be quite light.

Some roads may be slick... especially during the onset of the
rain... since it will have been more than two weeks since it last
rained. Snowfall in the mountains may cause slippery roads above
6000 feet. Fog may also reduce visibility at times for locations
above 6000 feet.

Although a few showers will linger across San Diego County on
Wednesday morning... drier conditions will develop by the afternoon
and continue through the remainder of the week.

Southeast to east winds of 10 to 20 mph with local gusts to 35 mph
in and below canyons and passes will continue through tonight... then
taper off Wednesday morning.
