Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Valentine's Day will be greeted by a storm that will begin the day in the Mississippi Valley before moving eastward into the eastern third of the country. In the colder air to the north, snow is expected to fall through the Ohio Valley before moving into the Northeast in the evening. The warmer air to the north will only allow areas of light to moderate rain to form from Louisiana through the Carolinas. By the end of the day, much of the precipitation from this storm will be off the eastern seaboard, leaving warmer air in the Southern Plains and much colder air in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.

In the West, a storm will track through the Great Basin before slamming into the Rockies, where it will produce much needed high elevation snow. This will not be a tremendous snow producer, but several inches of the white stuff is expected.

Late in the day, a Pacific storm will make its approach to the West Coast. As the storm moves inland, it will instigate rain and high elevation snow in Washington and Oregon. This storm will be the next rain producer for California on Wednesday.

The Northeast will rise in to the 30s and 40s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The Northern Plains will rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Northwest will see temperatures in the 30s and 40s.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:32 AM EST on February 14, 2012

... Intermittent freezing drizzle this morning...

Some light freezing drizzle... mixed at times with flurries... will
continue into the morning hours. Treated and more traveled
roadways will likely remain wet... however icy patches can be
expected on lesser traveled secondary... as well as untreated
roadways. In addition... untreated walkways could be icy so caution
should be exercised both walking and driving early this morning.

Temperatures will slowly inch their way above freezing by mid to
late morning with the threat of freezing drizzle ending.

942 PM CST Mon Feb 13 2012 /1042 PM EST Mon Feb 13 2012/

... Snow to end tonight with patchy freezing drizzle possible...

Light snow will continue through the midnight time frame tonight
before slowly shifting east out of the area. With the departure of
this snow... a period of patchy light freezing drizzle will be
possible across portions of northeast Illinois and Northwest
Indiana. Although the extent of this freezing drizzle and the
exact timing of this transition remain uncertain at this
time... the chances for this light freezing drizzle will become
more likely for areas along and west of a Rockford to Watseka line
early Tuesday morning. With temperatures in the upper 20s... some
slippery spots may form on area roads and possibly linger into the
morning commute.

Anyone planning travel overnight should be aware of slippery Road
conditions. Be especially cautious on elevated Road surfaces such
as bridges and overpasses which typically see ice formation before
other areas.
