Weather Summary
Shaun Tanner
Weather Underground midday recap for Monday, February 13, 2012. A storm raced out of the Rockies and into the Plains on Monday, producing a good shot of Winter weather in the Plains and Mississippi Valley. Winter Weather Advisories were posted from eastern Oklahoma through the western Tennessee Valley in anticipation of several inches of new snow. Snow fell as far north as Minnesota and Michigan, but lighter snow was reported the farther north you went. In the warmer air closer to the Gulf Coast, rain fell in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Wet weather also greeted the West Coast as a Pacific storm slammed into California. This storm lacked a tremendous amount of moisture, but it has been a very dry Winter for the state thus far, and any precipitation is very much welcomed. Up to a foot of new snow is possible from this storm in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevadas when all is said and done.

The East Coast was dry as a high pressure continued to dominate, but the region experienced another chilly day. By the afternoon, temperatures were still in the 20s and 30s for many areas in New England, while temperatures in the 30s were experience as far south as Arkansas. Morning temperatures were in the 20s in northern Florida.

The Northern Plains rose into the 20s and 30s, while the Northwest saw temperatures in the 30s and 40s. The Southwest rose into the 40s, 50s, and some 60s.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 10:42 PM EST on February 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.
