Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Wednesday, February 08, 2012.

More wet and active weather continued in the East on Wednesday as a low pressure system from the Tennessee Valley moved east through the Mid-Atlantic. The system produced light to moderate snow showers in parts of the Ohio Valley and the Central Appalachians and a mix of rain and snow in the Mid-Atlantic. Up to one inch of snow was expected in the Washington, D.C. area today, while higher snow totals of up to 4 inches were expected in the high terrain of eastern West Virginia., western Maryland, and south central Pennsylvania. Elsewhere in the East, isolated showers formed in the southern tip of Texas and in parts of south Florida.

In the West, a weak disturbance moved over western Oregon and Washington during the morning and a weak warm front lifted slowly northward across the region during the afternoon. These systems brought some very light rain to the region ranging from a trace in some interior valleys to a tenth of an inch along the coast. Meanwhile, energy from the Northwest began to spread southeastward into the Central Great Basin this afternoon, creating chances for a few inches of snow in the mountains late this afternoon with some light rain and snow showers possible over the lower valleys.

... Dual polarization radar technology arriving in Springfield
beginning this Friday...

The National Weather Service Doppler radar serving southwest and
central Missouri and extreme southeast Kansas will be enhanced
with the latest dual polarization technology beginning this
Friday... February 10... 2012.

Dual polarization can better detect heavy rainfall in flooding
events... improve hail detection in thunderstorms... and improve
classification of precipitation types such as rain... snow... and
ice. It can also detect the presence of airborne tornado
debris... giving forecasters a higher degree of confidence that a
damaging tornado is occurring. Meteorologists at the National
Weather Service in Springfield are currently being trained on how
to interpret and best utilize this new radar data.

The installation will take about two weeks to complete... and the
Springfield radar will be out of service during that time. During
this period... adjacent National Weather Service radars at St.
Louis... Kansas City... Wichita... Topeka... Tulsa... Fort
Smith... Little Rock... Memphis and Paducah will provide radar
coverage for the Ozarks. The Springfield radar is expected to
return to service by the end of February.

Installation of dual polarization technology in all 122 National
Weather Service radars is expected to be completed in 2013.
Thirty-eight other Doppler radars owned by the Air Force and
federal aviation administration will also be upgraded.
