Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Precipitation will spread across the East Coast on Saturday, while more rain and mountain snow showers are anticipated for parts of the West. A trough of low pressure and associated cold front continue moving eastward across the Eastern Valleys into the Eastern Seaboard. Cool temperatures to the north will allow for snow showers to develop across the Northeast and New England, while rain showers are likely over the Mid-Atlantic states. Rain showers over the Southeastern states should wind down in the early morning hours as the tail end of the system pushes offshore early in the day. Expect the New York metropolitan area to see 1 to 3 inches of snow, while the Washington D.C. area will see a messy combination of snow and freezing rain as high temperatures reach into the lower 40s.

Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure continues to build in from the Plains, pushing cold and dry air in from Canada. This allows for plenty of sunshine to spread from the Plains over the Mississippi River Valley and into the Eastern Valleys. Expect the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest to see highs in the teens again, while the Midwest will see highs in the 20s. Strong winds will accompany this system, pushing windchill values below zero in these areas. The Southern Plains will remain in the 40s on Saturday.

Out West, a trough of low pressure pushes a cold front over the Pacific Northwest and continues pulling moisture onshore with it. This will kick up more rain showers with high elevation snow showers likely in the Cascades. The tail end of the frontal boundary will sweep through California, bringing light rain showers to the coasts and interior valleys. Expect light snow showers in the Sierra Nevadas by Saturday evening.

Special Weather Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:15 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Strong winds expected through the evening...

Northwest winds will reach as high as 24 to 29 mph... with gusts of
34 to 39 mph at times through the evening across southeast South
Carolina and southeast Georgia. These strong winds are just below the
criteria that requires a Wind Advisory.

Winds on some of the taller bridges can be even stronger. This
includes... the Ravenel bridge... the Don Holt bridge... the James b.
Edwards bridge... the Ben Sawyer bridge... the Isle of Palms
connector... the Amos nathaniel Rodgers bridge... the Woods Memorial
bridge and the Talmadge Memorial bridge.

All motorists should use extra caution when traveling... especially
on bridges... overpasses and in exposed areas.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio all hazards... TV or your local
news source for the latest weather information from the National
Weather Service.








359 PM EST Sat Feb 11 2012

... Bitterly cold weather to impact the area tonight through early Monday...

An Arctic air mass will settle into the area through early
Monday... bringing with it the coldest air since early January. A
hard freeze will occur across the vast majority of southern South
Carolina and southeast Georgia both tonight and Sunday
night... while temperatures on Sunday will be far below normal.

Temperatures tonight will steadily fall through the night as the
colder Arctic air continues to move in on brisk northwest winds.
Temperatures will fall below freezing in most communities by 11 PM
to 1 am... and will bottom out between 20 and 25 Sunday morning.
Even the beaches will be impacted... with shoreline temperatures to
plunge to the upper 20s. When combined with the wind... the wind
chill temperature for late tonight and Sunday morning will be down
as low as 9 to 16 degrees for several hours. It/ll take until 9-11
am Sunday for temperature to reach above the freezing mark... but
with temperatures will struggle to reach no higher than the middle
40s for the afternoon.

As the center of the Arctic high settles closer to the region
Sunday night and Monday morning... temperatures will drop quickly
with sunset. With mostly calm winds and clear skies... we/ll see
temperatures fall below freezing again in most communities by 8 or
9 PM. With plentiful radiational cooling to occur... lowest
temperatures will be down in the upper teens and lower 20s away
from the coast at the start of Monday. The beaches will not be as
cold as tonight... but still down into the lower 30s for overnight
lows.

We have not had much cold weather this winter... and as a reminder
here are a few cold weather preparedness and safety actions...

Try to stay inside as much as possible. If you must be outside...
dress appropriately for the cold weather.

Remember to protect your water pipes to prevent then from bursting.
Cover or insulate those pipes if possible. Let at least one faucet
drip inside your home during each night. Open up the Cabinet doors
underneath all sinks to allow for warmer air to circulate inside.

Do not Forget about your pets. If you can... bring them inside at
night. If this is not possible... make sure they will have plenty
of warmth such as blankets or other coverings to remain warm.
Ensure that they have plenty of unfrozen drinking water.

Check on the elderly and others such as Young children and those
with illnesses that may be more susceptible to very cold
temperatures.

Be extra careful if using electric space heaters to prevent fires
from occurring.

you can visit our web site at...

news source for the latest weather information from the National
Weather Service.
