Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Friday, February 10, 2012.

Snow showers moved through the Midwest, thunderstorms developed in the South, and cold air poured into the Plains on Friday. A trough of low pressure moved eastward from the Southern Plains and continued to push a cold front eastward, which extended from the Great Lakes into the Gulf states. The southern end of this system pulled moisture in from the Gulf of Mexico and triggered scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Lower Mississippi Valley. Severe storms have not been reported over the region, but rainfall totals reached over an inch in eastern Texas and southern Louisiana. Heaviest rainfall was reported at Angleton, Texas with a mid-day total of 1.12 inches of rain.

To the North, cool air over the Great Lakes and Midwest allowed for snow showers to develop along the northern side of this cold front. Snowfall accumulation ranged from 1 to 2 inches from southern Wisconsin and Michigan, through Ohio and the Central Appalachians. Some of these areas saw a messy combination of freezing rain and sleet.

Behind this system, a strong ridge of high pressure built into the Plains. This pushed in cool and dry air from central Canada and brought cold and breezy conditions to most of the Plains. The Northern Plains and Upper Midwest saw highs in the single digits, with overnight lows temperatures near 10 degrees below zero. Parts of the Southern Plains saw highs in the 40s, with overnight lows in the 20s.

Out West, a trough of low pressure pushed another cold front toward the Pacific Northwest. Moisture poured in ahead of this system, kicking up more rain showers over Oregon and Washington, with a few sprinkles in northern California. The Northern Rockies saw light and scattered snow showers as moisture reached over Idaho and Montana. Snowfall accumulations ranged from 2 to 4 inches in these areas.

... Cold air surges into north and central Georgia this weekend...

An Arctic cold front will sweep through all of north and central
Georgia by noon on Saturday. This cold front will be followed by
sharply falling temperatures and very gusty northwest winds.

High temperatures on Saturday will generally occur in the morning
with the 30s and 40s across the north to the 50s across central
Georgia. Temperatures will fall into the teens and 20s on Saturday
night.

Strong northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts of 35 to 40 mph
are also expected. Wind chill values will remain in the 20s across
north Georgia during the day... dropping into the teens and single
digits overnight. Across central Georgia... the wind chill will fall
into the 30s by late afternoon... and into the teens overnight.

The predominantly warmer than normal weather so far this winter has
resulted in extremely premature budding of some Flowers... plants and
trees. Steps should be taken to protect any vulnerable plants... as
well as outdoor pets.

Finally... a few snow showers will be possible in the north Georgia
mountains from late tonight through Saturday morning. A minor dusting
of snow will be possible in the higher elevations... mainly above
2500 feet. Otherwise... most of the snow will melt as it hits the
ground due to warmer soil temperatures.

Residents of north and central Georgia should continue to monitor
this upcoming winter weather event.
