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 9:38 PM CST on February 12, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST
Monday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST
Monday.

* Timing... light snow will develop across the area overnight
tonight and continue into Monday before mixing with drizzle and
light freezing drizzle during the late morning hours. The
wintry mix will linger through the afternoon before diminishing
by evening.

* Total snow and ice accumulations... 1 to 2 inches of snow is
expected across the area... primarily between 3 am and 10 am. A
period of freezing drizzle on Monday may also produce a thin
glaze of ice prior to temperatures rising above freezing.

* Winds... south winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts around 25 mph.

* Impacts... the heaviest snowfall is expected to occur just
prior to and during the morning commute. Falling snow combined
with the winds may bring reductions in visibility to less than
a mile at times... as well as slick roadways. Freezing drizzle
through midday on Monday may also produce slick roadways as
well.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Wintry precipitation is forecast to accumulate in the affected
areas causing hazardous driving conditions. Those with travel
plans are advised to choose an alternate Route... or should use
extreme caution if travel is unavoidable.
