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 2:54 AM CST on February 13, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/
this evening to 7 am EST /6 am CST/ Tuesday...

The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow and sleet... which is in effect from 7
PM EST /6 PM CST/ this evening to 7 am EST /6 am CST/ Tuesday.

* Timing: light snow will overspread the region mainly after
sunset tonight... mostly affecting locations across south-central
Indiana and much of west-central Kentucky.

* Main impact: light to sometimes moderate snow will fall later
tonight with some snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches possible.
The best chance for this will occur west of I-65 across south-
central Indiana and across Kentucky counties near the Ohio
River.

* Other impacts: some sleet may mix in towards dawn Tuesday across
west-central Kentucky. Any snow... or snow/sleet mix... will
create hazardous driving conditions since antecedent cold
surfaces will allow roadways to become slick from snow or wintry
mix accumulations.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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