Weather Underground Forecast for Monday, February 13, 2012.

The trough of low pressure that brought unsettled weather to the West on Sunday will advance into the Plains on Monday with more mixed precipitation. The trough will support a low and associated warm front moving eastward into the Southern Plains. As the system progresses, rain showers with periods of heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms will spread from parts of central/eastern Texas into western Louisiana, mixed precipitation will develop in parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and snow will blanket parts of the Central Plains, Mid-Mississippi Valley, and parts of the western Ohio Valley. Areas from eastern Texas through Arkansas should expect the heaviest precipitation totals. Heightened winter weather conditions will allow Winter Weather Advisories and a few Winter Storm Warnings to remain in effect through the day. Elsewhere east of the Continental Divide, lake-effect snow showers will continue along parts of the Lower Great Lakes Snowbelt.

In the West, a Pacific cold front pushing across the Pacific Northwest will drop southward across northern California, bringing coastal and valley rain and significant snowfall to the Sierra Nevadas.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:37 PM CST on February 13, 2012

... Slick spots may develop later this evening...

Although much of the snow has ended across central and southern
Iowa... intermittent light drizzle and light freezing drizzle will
continue into the evening. There may be some flurries as
well... but little or no additional snow accumulations are
anticipated.

Roads are wet with Road surface temperatures at or above freezing
from the Missouri border up to around Highway 20... and those conditions
are expected to persist into the evening commute. However some
slick and icy spots may develop after 600 PM as Road temperatures
begin to gradually drop with the loss of daytime heating.

Motorists planning travel later tonight should be prepared for
changing Road conditions as the evening progresses.
