Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, February 09, 2012.

A disturbance dropping southeastward across the Great Basin will reach the southern Rockies on Thursday. The system will kick up light snow showers in the Central and Southern Rockies. Snow accumulation is expected to fairly light, with only an inch or two at best over the San Juans and

southern Sangres mountains. Meanwhile, another disturbance moving out of northeastern Mexico will move into Texas. This energy will interact with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will produce light rain showers in the Southern Plains. Elsewhere in the West, a warm front will move through western Washington, bringing light showers to the Pacific Northwest through the morning. Offshore flow and ridging could give clearing and

warmer temperature to the region by the afternoon.

In the East, a cold front from southern Canada will drop into the Great Lakes and Central Plains during the day. This system will kick up snow showers in parts of the Upper Great Lakes, primarily in northern Michigan. Elsewhere, high pressure builds over the Eastern Valleys with generally calm and dry weather conditions.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:03 am EST on February 9, 2012

... This week is severe weather awareness week in Georgia. Today we
will discuss lightning safety...

Lightning is one of the leading causes of weather deaths in the
United States. Most lightning deaths occur in the Summer
months... usually in the afternoon and evening hours. Also... most
deaths occur when people are caught outside during a storm.

Lightning results from the buildup and release of electrical
energy between positive and negative charges between the Earth and
a thunderstorm. A single lightning Bolt can be as hot as 50000
degrees fahrenheit... hotter even than the surface of the sun. This
rapid heating and cooling of the air creates a shock wave which we
hear as thunder. Lightning will usually strike the highest object
in area. This includes trees... antennas... a boat on a lake... or a
person standing in a field.

So... what should you do to protect yourself...

If you are outside... get inside a building or
vehicle. If you can hear thunder... you are already at risk.

When thunder roars... go indoors.

If you cannot find shelter... do not stand under a tree or remain in
an open place when lightning is near. Avoid open water... as well as
tractors... bicycles... motorcycles... or Golf carts. These will not
provide protection... and may actually attract lightning.

Enclosed vehicles are generally safe... if you avoid contact with
metal surfaces.

If you are in a Forest... seek shelter in a low area under a thick
growth of small trees.

If you are outside... and feel your hair stand on end... this
indicates lightning is about to strike. Drop to your knees and roll
forward to the balls of your feet. Place your hands on your knees
and tuck your head down. Do not lie flat on the ground.

If you are boating or swimming... get to land as quickly as possible.

If you are inside... don't use a telephone or other electrical
equipment unless in an emergency.
