Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Cold air poured into the Plains on Saturday, while snow showers developed in parts of the Northeast. A strong low pressure system that brought heavy rain to the Southern Plains and Southeast has advanced eastward and off the East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. However, counter-clockwise flow around this system continued to push moisture into the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Ohio River Valley. In addition to cool air over the region, this allowed for snow showers to develop across Michigan and the Ohio River Valley. Snowfall accumulations ranged from 1 to 3 inches in most areas, with up to 5 inches at higher elevations of the Central Appalachians. Coastal regions remained slightly warmer, which maintained light rain showers from southern Maine through Virginia.

Behind this system, a dominant ridge of high pressure continued to build over the Plains. This system started to stretch eastward over the Mississippi Valley. Flow around this system pulled cold air in from central Canada and kept seasonable cool temperatures over the Central US. High temperatures only reached into the 30s in parts of northern Texas, while the Central and Northern Plains saw highs in the teens, with overnight lows in the negative teens.

Out West, cool conditions persisted with areas of wet weather as a trough of low pressure moved over the Pacific Northwest and into the Intermountain West and Great Basin. Rainfall totals and high elevation snow accumulation remained light. A few light rain showers extended into California as moist onshore flow persisted.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:52 PM PST on February 11, 2012

... Storm to reach the central California interior Monday...

A Pacific storm will spread rain and mountain snow across the
central California interior Monday... with gusty winds over the Kern
County mountains and deserts Monday afternoon and evening.

A very cold airmass is associated with this storm... and snow levels
will drop rapidly Monday. The snow level at Yosemite will be around
4000 feet Monday... dropping to around 3000 feet by Tuesday morning.
Snow levels will be higher to the south... but are expected to lower
to around 4000 feet in the Tehachapi Mountains by late Monday.

Although there is some uncertainty as to expected rainfall and
snowfall amounts... computer models forecast up to a half inch of
rain on the San Joaquin Valley floor for Monday and Monday night. In
the southern Sierra Nevada... snowfall accumulations of 5 to 8 inches
will be possible over the high country. Light accumulations could
fall on the Grapevine and Tehachapi Pass.

The storm also will bring gusty winds to the Kern County mountains
and deserts. Gusts up to 45 mph will be possible over the ridges and
through and below favored passes and canyons... especially Monday
afternoon and evening.

People planning travel into the southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi
Mountains Monday and Monday night should be prepared for winter
driving conditions. Carry chains... warm clothing... water and non
perishable food. Allow extra travel time and be prepared for delays
or Road closures. The gusty winds may make travel in the Kern County
mountains and deserts difficult at times for high profile vehicles
such as campers and trailers.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... or your favorite news
source... for updates on this storm. Or visit our web site at
www.Weather.Gov/Hanford.
