Weather Summary

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 3:09 AM CST on February 13, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST this
evening...

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

* Timing... light snow will continue to affect the Flint Hills and
southeast Kansas this morning. Intermittent light snow or
freezing drizzle is expected across south central and central
Kansas. Periodic light snow or freezing drizzle will continue
across southeast Kansas this afternoon... with chances for light
freezing drizzle... drizzle or a fine light snow across central
and south central Kansas.

* Snow accumulation... totals will range from 3 to 5 inches for
areas along and east of the Kansas Turnpike... with only an inch
or two for locations further to the west.

* Ice accumulations... should remain less than one-tenth of an
inch... but when combined with the snow will likely be enough to
create hazardous travel conditions.

* Impacts... include very slick roadways from the snow and
freezing drizzle... especially for untreated roads... overpasses
and bridges.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of winter weather
will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads
and limited visibilities. Use caution while driving.
