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
Snow showers will increase across the high terrain this afternoon with lighter and fewer rain and snow showers at lower elevations. Visibilities may drop to near or even a little under 1 mile at times this afternoon in the high country. Above 7000 or 7500 feet spotty 1 to 2 inch snow accumulations are likely through late afternoon... but down lower due to above freezing temperatures no significant accumulation is expected. Some locations most affected will include Chama...Dulce...Tierra Amarilla...Cuba and other locales near the Continental Divide. Gusty winds will accompany the more significant showers and any isolated thunderstorms that may develop.
Winter Storm Warning in effect until 8 am MST Wednesday...

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

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 8 am MST
Wednesday...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow and blowing snow remains in
effect until 8 am MST Wednesday.

* Snow accumulations... expect 3 to 6 inches below 7500 feet and 6
to 10 inches above 7500 feet. Locally higher amounts will be
possible on some west facing slopes and higher peaks above 10000
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 15 to 25 mph with
occasional gusts to 40 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... snow levels will likely rise to near 7500 feet by
early to mid afternoon... but will fall to the lowest elevations
after sunset.

* Local impacts... expect hazardous travel conditions to
develop... especially over the Continental Divide between Gallup
and Grants... along Highway 550 near Cuba... and other roads near
Chama and Jemez Springs.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow and blowing snow means
severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring.
Significant amounts of snow are forecast that will make travel
dangerous. Strong winds are likely. Only travel in an emergency.
