Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, February 09, 2012.

A disturbance dropping southeastward across the Great Basin will reach the southern Rockies on Thursday. The system will kick up light snow showers in the Central and Southern Rockies. Snow accumulation is expected to fairly light, with only an inch or two at best over the San Juans and

southern Sangres mountains. Meanwhile, another disturbance moving out of northeastern Mexico will move into Texas. This energy will interact with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will produce light rain showers in the Southern Plains. Elsewhere in the West, a warm front will move through western Washington, bringing light showers to the Pacific Northwest through the morning. Offshore flow and ridging could give clearing and

warmer temperature to the region by the afternoon.

In the East, a cold front from southern Canada will drop into the Great Lakes and Central Plains during the day. This system will kick up snow showers in parts of the Upper Great Lakes, primarily in northern Michigan. Elsewhere, high pressure builds over the Eastern Valleys with generally calm and dry weather conditions.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:26 AM CST on February 09, 2012

... Hazardous wind chills possible Friday morning...

A strong cold front moving through Thursday will help usher in
much colder temperatures for the end of the week. With
temperatures Thursday night falling below zero... and winds of 10
to 20 mph... wind chills in the 20 to 30 below zero range are
possible. Some locations could see wind chills lower than 30 below
early Friday morning.

These wind chill values could result in frostbite and lead to
hypothermia if precautions are not taken. Those going outdoors
should make sure to wear appropriate clothing... including hat
and gloves.
