Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Cold air poured into the Plains on Saturday, while snow showers developed in parts of the Northeast. A strong low pressure system that brought heavy rain to the Southern Plains and Southeast has advanced eastward and off the East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. However, counter-clockwise flow around this system continued to push moisture into the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Ohio River Valley. In addition to cool air over the region, this allowed for snow showers to develop across Michigan and the Ohio River Valley. Snowfall accumulations ranged from 1 to 3 inches in most areas, with up to 5 inches at higher elevations of the Central Appalachians. Coastal regions remained slightly warmer, which maintained light rain showers from southern Maine through Virginia.

Behind this system, a dominant ridge of high pressure continued to build over the Plains. This system started to stretch eastward over the Mississippi Valley. Flow around this system pulled cold air in from central Canada and kept seasonable cool temperatures over the Central US. High temperatures only reached into the 30s in parts of northern Texas, while the Central and Northern Plains saw highs in the teens, with overnight lows in the negative teens.

Out West, cool conditions persisted with areas of wet weather as a trough of low pressure moved over the Pacific Northwest and into the Intermountain West and Great Basin. Rainfall totals and high elevation snow accumulation remained light. A few light rain showers extended into California as moist onshore flow persisted.

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 7:00 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 1 am EST
Sunday...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 1 am EST
Sunday.

* Snow showers will continue through this evening. The snow may
be heavy at times... especially where snow bands occur or
persist. Accumulating snow is expected to end by around
midnight.

* Additional snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are expected
this evening. Total snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches... with
isolated higher amounts up to 5 inches will be possible where
heaviest bands occur... and at elevations above 2000 feet.
Locally higher totals could occur on the highest peaks of Pine
and Black Mountains where an isolated 6 inches of snow can not
be ruled out.

* Travel will be hazardous. Slick and snow covered roads will be
the primary impact... especially as residual water refreezes on
area roads after sunset. Winds combined with temperatures
below freezing will keep winds chills in the single digits as
well.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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