Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Cold air poured into the Plains on Saturday, while snow showers developed in parts of the Northeast. A strong low pressure system that brought heavy rain to the Southern Plains and Southeast has advanced eastward and off the East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. However, counter-clockwise flow around this system continued to push moisture into the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Ohio River Valley. In addition to cool air over the region, this allowed for snow showers to develop across Michigan and the Ohio River Valley. Snowfall accumulations ranged from 1 to 3 inches in most areas, with up to 5 inches at higher elevations of the Central Appalachians. Coastal regions remained slightly warmer, which maintained light rain showers from southern Maine through Virginia.

Behind this system, a dominant ridge of high pressure continued to build over the Plains. This system started to stretch eastward over the Mississippi Valley. Flow around this system pulled cold air in from central Canada and kept seasonable cool temperatures over the Central US. High temperatures only reached into the 30s in parts of northern Texas, while the Central and Northern Plains saw highs in the teens, with overnight lows in the negative teens.

Out West, cool conditions persisted with areas of wet weather as a trough of low pressure moved over the Pacific Northwest and into the Intermountain West and Great Basin. Rainfall totals and high elevation snow accumulation remained light. A few light rain showers extended into California as moist onshore flow persisted.

Winter Storm Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:02 PM MST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Storm Watch in effect from Monday morning through
Tuesday afternoon above 4500 feet...

The National Weather Service in Las Vegas has issued a Winter
Storm Watch above 4500 feet... which is in effect from Monday
morning through Tuesday afternoon.

* Timing: late Monday morning through much of Tuesday.

* Snow level: around 5000 feet Monday lowering to around 4000 feet
Monday night.

* Total snow accumulations: 8 to 12 inches from 4500 to 6000 feet
with 12 to 16 inches above 6000 feet.

* Winds: south 10 to 20 mph Monday becoming west to northwest 10
to 15 mph Monday.

* Impacts: drivers on the area roadways should be prepared for the
possibility of winter weather conditions. Low visibilities and
snow covered roads could make travel difficult.


Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for
hazardous winter weather to develop... but the occurrence is still
uncertain.
