Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Valentine's Day will be greeted by a storm that will begin the day in the Mississippi Valley before moving eastward into the eastern third of the country. In the colder air to the north, snow is expected to fall through the Ohio Valley before moving into the Northeast in the evening. The warmer air to the north will only allow areas of light to moderate rain to form from Louisiana through the Carolinas. By the end of the day, much of the precipitation from this storm will be off the eastern seaboard, leaving warmer air in the Southern Plains and much colder air in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.

In the West, a storm will track through the Great Basin before slamming into the Rockies, where it will produce much needed high elevation snow. This will not be a tremendous snow producer, but several inches of the white stuff is expected.

Late in the day, a Pacific storm will make its approach to the West Coast. As the storm moves inland, it will instigate rain and high elevation snow in Washington and Oregon. This storm will be the next rain producer for California on Wednesday.

The Northeast will rise in to the 30s and 40s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The Northern Plains will rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Northwest will see temperatures in the 30s and 40s.

              severe weather awareness week 2012
               day 2 - Tuesday February 14 2012


Today is day two of severe weather awareness week. Our topic of
discussion today is flash flooding.

Flash flooding is a result of sudden... heavy rainfall
commonly produced from slow-moving intense thunderstorms.
Flash floods become raging torrents of water which rip
Through Creek beds... city streets... and areas of poor
drainage... sweeping away everything before them.

Significant flash flooding has occurred across parts of the
southeastern states over the last few years. Some examples include
flash flooding near Atlanta in August 2009 and in Nashville in may
2010. In each of these cases the rainfall rates overwhelmed the drainage
systems and flooding beyond the experience of local residents occurred.
These floods resulted in numerous fatalities... a large portion of which
were elderly people.

In September 2011... the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee produced rainfall
amounts from 10 to 13 inches across central Mississippi. This caused
extensive flooding of creeks and streams... but fortunately no loss
of life.

Most deaths from flash flooding occur when vehicle operators
drive their automobiles into flood waters of unknown depths only
to find the water is deeper than they thought. At this point... the
motor becomes inundated then stalls and the vehicle is soon swept
away... taking the passengers with it. A simple rule to remember is
turn around don't drown.

A Flash Flood Watch means it is possible that heavy rains will
cause flash flooding in the specified area. Stay alert to the
weather... and think about what you would do if water begins to rise
or if you receive a warning. Watch for development of heavy rain.

A Flash Flood Warning means flash flooding is occurring or
imminent in the specified area. Move to higher... safe ground
immediately!

A flash flood emergency means that extremely heavy rainfall has already
occurred... will continue to occur... and that emergency officials are
reporting life-threatening rises in water that are resulting in water
rescues and or evacuations.

Below are some flash flood safety rules.

If you are driving... look ahead and watch for flooding at Highway
dips... bridges... and low areas. Do not try to drive across water-
filled areas of unknown depth.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize
flood dangers. Heavy rain events frequently and notoriously
occur at night.

Do not Camp or park your vehicle along streams or drainage areas
particularly during threatening conditions. Avoid already flooded
and high velocity flow areas. Do not attempt to cross a flowing
stream on foot where water is above your ankles.
