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 3:38 PM CST on February 13, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday.

* An area of snow will continue to move eastward during the
evening hours. Total snowfall for this event will likely be in
the 1 to 2 inch range. Locally up 3 inches of snow may occur
north of the Ohio River.

The snow will taper off... and likely change over to freezing
drizzle over southeast Missouri... parts of southern Illinois and
western Kentucky late this evening. This freezing drizzle or
light freezing rain will eventually take the place of snow over
all areas by sunrise. Over western Kentucky south of the western
Kentucky Parkway... the snow will change to freezing drizzle and
then light rain or drizzle by morning.

* Travel conditions across the area will likely deteriorate from
west to east. Those planning to travel... especially this
evening into the overnight hours... should be prepared for
slippery conditions and reduced visibility... especially on
untreated and elevated roadways. Allow extra time to reach your
destination. The mixture of snow and freezing drizzle may make
travel difficult during the morning commute.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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