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.

... A wet weather pattern to develop across southwest California
on Tuesday...

A storm system off the West Coast will move east into southwest
California through Tuesday... and bring a cool... wet... and
unsettled weather pattern.

Gusty southerly flow developing ahead of the storm systems cold
front will increase across the area tonight. While breezy
conditions will be prominent almost everywhere on Tuesday... the
strongest winds are expected over Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties... especially in those mountains where potentially
damaging gusts over 60 mph are possible.

As for rain... the heaviest precipitation just ahead of the
systems cold front will begin moving from northwest to southeast
over the region late Tuesday morning... and exit the area Tuesday
night... producing a period of 3 to 8 hours of moderate rain. Rain
totals with this system should range from 0.10 to 0.50 inch over
southern coastal and valley areas to 0.50 to 1.00 inch across
northern coastal and valley areas... and from 0.50 to 1.50 inches
in the mountain areas. The highest totals are expected over the
favored south-facing slopes of Santa Barbara and western Ventura
counties... and the Santa Lucia mountains of San Luis Obispo
County... where isolated amounts to around 2.00 inches are
possible.

Snow levels will generally range between 6000 and 7000 feet... but
with higher levels with the heavier precipitation... and lower
levels just before. Snow levels should then lower to 4500 to 5500
feet Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as the precipitation
shifts to the backside of the mountains. After the front
passes... snow showers may develop with snow levels between 4500
and 5500 feet... with the lowest snow levels and potential for
wrap around moisture from the east on the backside of the Los
Angeles and Ventura County mountains Wednesday morning. Snow
totals between 3 and 7 inches are most likely above 6000
feet... with the higher amounts expected on the backside of the
mountains.
