Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday, February 14, 2012.

Multiple areas of wet weather developed over most of the nation on Tuesday. In the East, a weak trough of low pressure brought snow, freezing rain, and rain showers to the Upper Ohio River Valley, Central and Northern Appalachians, and the Northeast. Snowfall accumulation over the region remained light and varied around an inch in most places. Meanwhile, a cold front extended south from this system and extended over the Southeast. This pulled in moisture and energy from the Gulf of Mexico, and triggered showers and thunderstorms over the Gulf coast. Heaviest rainfall accumulation reached up to 0.96 inches in Key West, Florida.

Out West, light snow showers developed across most of the Rockies as a trough moved in from the West Coast. This brought light snow to the Northern and Central Rockies, with winter weather advisories issued for parts of Utah, Colorado, and northern New Mexico. The southern side of this system brought a messy combination of rain and snow to Arizona and New Mexico. Heaviest snowfall accumulation ranged from 3 to 5 inches in parts of Utah. Further West, a low pressure system offshore pushed a cold front into the Pacific Northwest, which produced more rain and high elevation snow showers.

Dense Fog Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:37 PM CST on February 14, 2012

... Dense fog advisory in effect from 10 PM this evening to 9 am
CST Wednesday...

The National Weather Service in Dodge City has issued a dense fog
advisory... which is in effect from 10 PM this evening to 9 am CST
Wednesday.

* Visibility... widespread visibility of one quarter of a mile or
less is expected with some areas expected to be down to a few
hundred feet at times.

* Impacts... visibilities below one quarter of a mile will require
extra caution for motorists... especially in areas where
visibility changes dramatically over short distances.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A dense fog advisory means visibilities will frequently be
reduced to less than one quarter mile. If driving... slow down...
use your headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.
