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 2:08 AM PST on February 13, 2012

... Wind Advisory remains in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to
midnight PST tonight...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to
midnight PST tonight.

* Affected area... Joshua Tree National Park... southwest and north
central portions of Imperial County... including the Interstate 8
corridor from mountain Spring pass east to el centro and gordons
well... and higher elevations in Riverside County bordering sections
of Interstate 10.

* Timing... from 1 PM Monday to midnight PST Monday night.

* Winds... west winds sustained at 25 to 35 mph... with gusts to
45 mph.

* Impacts... travel difficulties for high profile vehicles... and
the potential for areas of reduced visibilities due to blowing
dust or sand.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained wind speeds of between
30 and 40 mph are expected... or wind gusts of between 40 and
58 mph. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially
for high profile vehicles. In addition... strong winds over desert
areas could result in briefly lowered visibilities to well under
a mile at times in blowing dust or blowing sand. Use extra
caution.
