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.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 5:04 AM MST on February 14, 2012

... Wind Advisory in effect from 11 am this morning to midnight
MST tonight...

The National Weather Service in El Paso TX/Santa Teresa has
issued a Wind Advisory... which is in effect from 11 am this
morning to midnight MST tonight.

* Event: strong winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph...
especially along exposed ridge lines and eastern slopes.

* Timing: winds will increase through Tuesday morning... with the
strongest winds from the afternoon through midnight. Winds will
gradually diminish after midnight.

* Impact: winds will be strong enough to blow small objects and
debris around. Winds will also create localized blowing dust
over exposed dirt surfaces which may reduce visibilities to
nearby motorists.

* Visibility: occasional visibilities below 3 miles.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that winds of 30 to 39 mph are expected.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for
high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
