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.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 9:41 PM PST on February 12, 2012

... Wind Advisory remains in effect from noon to 10 PM PST
Monday...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect from noon to 10 PM PST Monday
for the Kern County mountains and deserts.

* Winds: becoming west to southwest 25 to 35 mph. Occasional
gusts to 50 mph... especially through and below passes and
canyons.

* Locations include: Rosamond... California City... Edwards AFB...
   Mojave... Ridgecrest... Tehachapi... Tejon Pass.

* Impacts: the winds can affect your ability to safely control
your vehicle. Highways most likely to have strong Crosswinds
are 58 from Mojave to Tehachapi Pass... U.S. 395... and
Highway 14. Gusty winds are also likely on the Grapevine
from Tejon Pass southward. On the desert floor... patchy

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 35 mph or gusts of
45 mph or more are expected. Winds this strong can make driving
difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution.
