Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Sunday, February 12, 2012.

Unsettled weather developed over parts of the West on Sunday as a trough of low pressure dug across the region. The system kicked up widely scattered snow showers in the Four Corners with moderate snow accumulations. The San Juan Mountains experienced heavy snow with snow accumulations expected to reach up to 17 inches by Sunday night. Snow accumulations in the nearby valley were expected to reach up to 8 inches. Meanwhile, snow accumulations for other mountains in the Four Corners were expected to range between 4 to 10 inches, with local accumulations of up to 14 inches. In addition to snow, isolated thunderstorms developed ahead of the trough in parts of New Mexico. Small hail, brief heavy rain, and small bursts of heavy snow above 7,000 feet were the main impacts with these thunderstorms. Further ahead of this system, a mix of wintry precipitation with sleet, freezing rain, and snow spread into Texas. Snow accumulations were expected to range from 1 to 3 inches. Winter Weather Advisories remained in effect from the Southern Plains through the Mid-Mississippi Valley in anticipation of this system's precipitation.

Elsewhere in the West, lighter snow developed in parts of Idaho and Wyoming, while an approaching Pacific frontal system spread thickening clouds across the Pacific Northwest and northern California coasts this afternoon.

In the East, lake-effect snow showers with periods of heavy snow and blowing snow continued along the Lower Great Lakes Snowbelt. Total snow accumulations of up to 8 inches were expected in parts of the Lower Great Lakes Snowbelt.

Finally, temperatures east of the Continental Divide remained quite cold this afternoon. Areas from the High Plains through the Ohio Valley and the northern Mid-Atlantic experienced highs in the 20s and 30s, the Northeast experienced highs ranging from upper 0s to 30s, and the Deep South only reached into the 40s, 50s, and 60s by the afternoon.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 8:35 PM EST on February 12, 2012

... Fire Danger Statement...

... High fire danger conditions Monday afternoon for central and
parts of north Georgia due to low relative humidities...

Relative humidities of 25 percent or less can be expected for 4
or more hours Monday afternoon. Winds will be south to southwest
at 5 to 10 mph.

With dry fuels... high fire danger conditions can be expected.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities concerning
whether you may burn outdoors. If you do burn outside... use extreme
caution.



453 PM EST sun Feb 12 2012

... A wintry mix possible Monday night into Tuesday morning...

A strong Arctic high which has affected the area the last two days
will gradually shift east of the area... allowing for a return of
moisture to the area late Monday. This will result in precipitation
moving into the western portions of the area late Monday evening
and the remainder of the area through Monday night.

Enough cold air is expected to be in place to result in a 3 to 6
hour period of a mixture of light rain and light snow. Little... if
any accumulation is expected. Any snow that does accumulate will
be confined to grassy areas. The precipitation will turn to all
rain by Tuesday afternoon.

There is quite a bit of uncertainty with this forecast
given the amount of cold air remaining in place and timing issues
with respect to the precipitation. Therefore... everyone is encouraged
to check frequently for forecast updates issued from this office.



332 PM EST sun Feb 12 2012

... A wintry mix possible Monday night into Tuesday morning...

A strong Arctic high which has affected the area the last two days
will gradually shift east of the area... allowing for a return of
moisture to the area late Monday. This will result in precipitation
moving into the western portions of the area late Monday evening
and the remainder of the area through Monday night. Enough cold air
is expected to be in place to result in a 1 to 3 hour period
initially when some sleet or snow could mix with the rain. From
Carrolton to Commerce and points northward... a dusting or less of
sleet and snow is expected. No accumulations are anticipated south of
this line. There is quite a bit of uncertainty with this forecast
given the amount of cold air remaining in place and timing issues
with respect to the precipitation. Therefore... everyone is encouraged
to check frequently for forecast updates issued from this office.
