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.

Nowcast as of 2:10 PM MST on February 14, 2012
Rain and snow showers will continue to increase in coverage and...to some degree...intensity as the afternoon progresses across north northwest and west central New Mexico. For the most part...the most persistent areas of precipitation will favor the west slopes and crests of the Chuska Mountains as well as the Continental Divide westward...where visibilities will drop to near and occasionally under 1 mile at times in snow this afternoon. In the vicinity and west of The Divide near and above 7000 feet spotty additional 1 to 3 inch snow accumulations are likely through the afternoon. Some locales likely to be most affected include Zuni Pueblo...Fence Lake...Ramah...Thoreau...Crownpoint and Gallup. In valley locations due to above freezing temperatures little or no accumulation is expected through late afternoon. There is also some potential for isolated thunderstorms near an eastbound cold front this afternoon. Gusty winds will accompany the more significant showers and any storms that may develop.
Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 8 am MST Wednesday...

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 11:36 AM MST on February 14, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 8 am MST
Wednesday...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow remains in effect
until 8 am MST Wednesday.

* Snow accumulations... expect 1 to 3 inches below 7500 feet and 3
to 6 inches above 7500 feet.

* Timing... snowfall will become heavy at times this afternoon and
evening. Snow will rapidly decrease in coverage and intensity
Wednesday morning.

* Winds... periods of sustained winds of 20 to 35 mph with
occasional gusts to 45 mph can be expected in some higher
terrain areas... especially along and south of Interstate 40.
This will produce areas of blowing snow and reduced
visibility.

* Snow levels... the snow level will rise to near 7500 feet by
early to mid afternoon... then drop to the lowest elevations
after sunset.

* Local impacts... expect hazardous travel conditions... especially
near the Continental Divide between Gallup and Grants and
through Narbona Pass in the Chuska Mountains. Travel along
portions of U.S. Highways 60... 64... 491... and 550 will also be
impacted.

Precautionary/preparedness actions... a Winter Weather Advisory
for snow and blowing snow means that visibilities will be
restricted due to a combination of falling and blowing snow.
