Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, February 10, 2012.

Expect active weather to move into the East on Friday, as a trough of low pressure moves from the Southern Plains and into the Eastern Valleys. Flow around this system will pull moisture and energy in from the Gulf of Mexico. This will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi River Valley throughout the day. There is a slight chance that these storms will turn severe with strong winds and heavy downpours. The northern side of this system will push a cold front into the Midwest, which will move through the Great Lakes and into the Ohio River Valley. Expect light and scattered snow showers to develop along the front as it passes through northern Michigan and into the eastern Ohio Valley and the Central Appalachians. Warmer temperatures ahead of this system will allow for rain showers to develop in parts of the Mid-Atlantic states and the Tennessee Valley.

Out West, a weak trough of low pressure moves onshore from the Pacific Ocean, bringing some moisture onshore with it. This will produce more rain and high elevation snow showers over the Pacific Northwest. Some of this moisture will stretch southward into northern California, allowing for light rain and high elevation snow showers to spread into the northern Sierras.

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:54 AM CST on February 10, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from noon today to 9 PM CST
this evening...

The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from noon today to
9 PM CST this evening. The lake effect snow watch is no longer in
effect.

* Timing... snow will develop early this afternoon and continue
into early this evening.

* Snow accumulations... total snowfall of generally 1 to 3 inches
is expected by early evening... with locally heavier amounts
possible near the lake and into southeastern Cook and far
eastern will counties where some lake enhancement to the
snowfall is expected late this afternoon.

* Impacts... greatly reduced visibilities and accumulating snowfall
will likely result in hazardous travel conditions this afternoon
into early this evening. Persons should plan to allow extra time
for the afternoon commute or consider taking public
transportation to avoid long delays.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow
