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.

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:45 AM CST on February 13, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST this
evening...

* timing... snow will continue across the area today. Also... areas
of freezing drizzle will be possible mainly along and south of
Interstate 80 by mid morning.

* Snow amounts... much of eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa will
see an inch or two of snow... with higher totals around 3 inches
expected across northeast Nebraska. The heaviest snow will
likely be falling during the morning commute.

* Impacts... the combination of 1 to 3 inches of snow along with
areas of freezing drizzle will make for difficult travel
conditions... especially during the morning commute when the
heaviest snow is expected. Slick roads and sidewalks along with
reduced visibilities can be expected. Motorists should allow
plenty of extra time to reach morning destinations.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow and freezing
drizzle will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery
roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
