Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, May 25, 2012.

Expect more active weather to develop across the Great Lakes on Friday, as a low pressure system moves from the Upper Midwest into eastern Canada. This system will push a cold front over the Great Lakes and Midwest, producing scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. There is a slight chance that some of these storms will turn severe with strong winds and large hail. Rainfall totals will range from 1 to 2 inches, with over 2 inches likely in areas of severe weather development.

Behind this activity in the West, a low pressure system will move over the Great Basin and into the Southern Rockies. Flow around this system will produce cooler temperatures across the West, while also triggering scattered showers over the Pacific Northwest, northern California, and Intermountain West. Snow showers may develop again across the highest elevations of the Northern Rockies.

Meanwhile in the East, high pressure builds from the Plains, over the Mississippi River Valley, and into the Eastern US. This will keep moisture away to the north, allowing for dry, sunny, and warm conditions. High temperatures will range in the 80s and 90s from the Central Plains through the Eastern Valleys, with parts of the Southern US reaching into the lower 100s.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:39 AM PDT on May 25, 2012

... Light snow accumulations possible in the Sierra and northeast
California through early Saturday morning...

An unseasonably cold low pressure system will is moving into the
Sierra today. This storm will produce snow across the higher
elevations of northeast California and the Lake Tahoe basin by
this morning... with additional snow showers through Saturday
morning.

During this time... several inches of snow will be possible in the
Tahoe basin above 7000 feet and in northeastern California above
6000 feet. Up to an inch of snow will be possible down to Lake
Tahoe level and between 5000-6000 feet in northeastern California.

Snow may accumulate on Road surfaces early this morning over
higher passes of the Sierra and again Friday night. Most Road
surfaces will be wet but slick patches will be possible above 5000
feet. Little to no accumulation is expected during the day on
roadways due the late may sun angle, despite the fact that it may
be snowing much of the day. By tonight... .some light accumulations
of snow are possible in the Lake Tahoe basin and highways
89... 49... 36... 44 and 299 in northeast California.

Although heavy snow accumulations are not expected... anyone
planning travel in the Sierra tonight or Saturday morning
should slow down and prepare for chain restrictions and possible
delays.
