Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Precipitation will spread across the East Coast on Saturday, while more rain and mountain snow showers are anticipated for parts of the West. A trough of low pressure and associated cold front continue moving eastward across the Eastern Valleys into the Eastern Seaboard. Cool temperatures to the north will allow for snow showers to develop across the Northeast and New England, while rain showers are likely over the Mid-Atlantic states. Rain showers over the Southeastern states should wind down in the early morning hours as the tail end of the system pushes offshore early in the day. Expect the New York metropolitan area to see 1 to 3 inches of snow, while the Washington D.C. area will see a messy combination of snow and freezing rain as high temperatures reach into the lower 40s.

Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure continues to build in from the Plains, pushing cold and dry air in from Canada. This allows for plenty of sunshine to spread from the Plains over the Mississippi River Valley and into the Eastern Valleys. Expect the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest to see highs in the teens again, while the Midwest will see highs in the 20s. Strong winds will accompany this system, pushing windchill values below zero in these areas. The Southern Plains will remain in the 40s on Saturday.

Out West, a trough of low pressure pushes a cold front over the Pacific Northwest and continues pulling moisture onshore with it. This will kick up more rain showers with high elevation snow showers likely in the Cascades. The tail end of the frontal boundary will sweep through California, bringing light rain showers to the coasts and interior valleys. Expect light snow showers in the Sierra Nevadas by Saturday evening.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 6:25 AM CST on February 11, 2012

... Very cold weekend expected as Arctic air arrives...

A cold front has moved through the region that ushered in an Arctic
airmass. This will result in significantly colder temperatures for
the arklamiss region than has been seen recently.

Temperatures today will be in the upper 30s and lower 40s areawide.
However... with the addition of north winds of 15 to 25 mph and higher
gusts... wind chills will stay mostly in the 20s all day. Winds will
subside through the evening and temperatures will plummet into the
upper teens and lower 20s by sunrise Sunday.

Persons planning outdoor activities should prepare for the
significantly colder conditions as well as the gusty northerly winds.
Actions will likely be needed to protect plants that may be
susceptible to cold... as well as pipes and pets.




154 PM CST Fri Feb 10 2012

... Very cold weekend in store as Arctic air mass arrives...

A cold front will usher an Arctic air mass into the region this
evening that will result in significantly colder temperatures for
the arklamiss region. The recent warm spell has maintained average
daily temperatures well above normal with highs frequently in the
60s and 70s over the past month or so. However a dramatic departure
in temperatures is in store beginning tonight and continuing through
the weekend.

Locations along and north of the Natchez trace will see lows drop
below freezing tonight with readings over northwest zones
plummeting into the mid 20s. Strong north wind will develop behind
the front and increasing wind speeds will produce wind chills from
10 to 15 degrees over northeast Louisiana... southeast Arkansas and
north Mississippi late tonight and early Saturday morning. During
the day Saturday the combination of Arctic air and north wind speeds
from 15 to 25 mph... with frequent higher gusts... will keep
temperatures relatively cold with afternoon highs ranging from the
mid 30s in the northwest to the mid to upper 40s in the southeast.
Wind speeds will begin to subside Saturday night... allowing
temperatures to cool quickly and drop into the teens and lower 20s
across the area by sunrise Sunday.

Persons planning outdoor activities this weekend should be prepared
for significantly colder temperatures than we have seen recently and
gusty northerly winds. Actions may be needed to protect plants that
may be susceptible to the cold.
