Weather Underground Forecast for Monday, February 13, 2012.

The trough of low pressure that brought unsettled weather to the West on Sunday will advance into the Plains on Monday with more mixed precipitation. The trough will support a low and associated warm front moving eastward into the Southern Plains. As the system progresses, rain showers with periods of heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms will spread from parts of central/eastern Texas into western Louisiana, mixed precipitation will develop in parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas, and snow will blanket parts of the Central Plains, Mid-Mississippi Valley, and parts of the western Ohio Valley. Areas from eastern Texas through Arkansas should expect the heaviest precipitation totals. Heightened winter weather conditions will allow Winter Weather Advisories and a few Winter Storm Warnings to remain in effect through the day. Elsewhere east of the Continental Divide, lake-effect snow showers will continue along parts of the Lower Great Lakes Snowbelt.

In the West, a Pacific cold front pushing across the Pacific Northwest will drop southward across northern California, bringing coastal and valley rain and significant snowfall to the Sierra Nevadas.

Nowcast as of 8:50 am MST on February 13, 2012
Through mid morning isolated snow showers will continue across the mountains...valleys and mesas of western and northern New Mexico. Showers will be most widespread over the northern mountains...where the activity will be scattered at times. Stronger showers will drop the visibility below 1 mile. An inch of additional accumulation will be possible along some western slopes of the northern mountains by 11 am...with lighter accumulations possible in parts of the west central mountains. Due to precipitation that fell earlier in the morning...some roads may be slick in spots...especially over bridges and overpasses.
Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 11 am MST this morning...
