Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, February 10, 2012.

Expect active weather to move into the East on Friday, as a trough of low pressure moves from the Southern Plains and into the Eastern Valleys. Flow around this system will pull moisture and energy in from the Gulf of Mexico. This will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi River Valley throughout the day. There is a slight chance that these storms will turn severe with strong winds and heavy downpours. The northern side of this system will push a cold front into the Midwest, which will move through the Great Lakes and into the Ohio River Valley. Expect light and scattered snow showers to develop along the front as it passes through northern Michigan and into the eastern Ohio Valley and the Central Appalachians. Warmer temperatures ahead of this system will allow for rain showers to develop in parts of the Mid-Atlantic states and the Tennessee Valley.

Out West, a weak trough of low pressure moves onshore from the Pacific Ocean, bringing some moisture onshore with it. This will produce more rain and high elevation snow showers over the Pacific Northwest. Some of this moisture will stretch southward into northern California, allowing for light rain and high elevation snow showers to spread into the northern Sierras.

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:43 AM EST on February 10, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to
10 PM EST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow and hazardous travel... which is in effect
from 1 PM this afternoon to 10 PM EST this evening.

Hazardous weather...

* snow developing around noon along M-46 and around 3 PM along
   I-96 and I-94.

* Visibilities falling under a mile as strong cold front moves
   through.

* 1 to 3 inches accumulation.

Impacts...

* icy roads leading to slide offs.

* Much slower evening commute.

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.

* The Michigan Department of Transportation reminds motorists
   to adjust speeds based on the conditions... and to take it
   slow in ice and snow.

* Weather preparedness information is available on line at
   www.Ready.Gov/winter and http://go.USA.Gov/5og.
