Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, February 09, 2012.

A disturbance dropping southeastward across the Great Basin will reach the southern Rockies on Thursday. The system will kick up light snow showers in the Central and Southern Rockies. Snow accumulation is expected to fairly light, with only an inch or two at best over the San Juans and

southern Sangres mountains. Meanwhile, another disturbance moving out of northeastern Mexico will move into Texas. This energy will interact with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will produce light rain showers in the Southern Plains. Elsewhere in the West, a warm front will move through western Washington, bringing light showers to the Pacific Northwest through the morning. Offshore flow and ridging could give clearing and

warmer temperature to the region by the afternoon.

In the East, a cold front from southern Canada will drop into the Great Lakes and Central Plains during the day. This system will kick up snow showers in parts of the Upper Great Lakes, primarily in northern Michigan. Elsewhere, high pressure builds over the Eastern Valleys with generally calm and dry weather conditions.

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:45 PM EST on February 09, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 3 PM Friday to
noon EST Saturday...

* locations... southern Ohio... southeast Indiana... and northern
Kentucky

* hazard types... accumulating snow... with reduced visibilities.

* Accumulations... 1 to 2 inches of snow... some localized amounts
up to 3 inches.

* Timing... precipitation will develop early Friday afternoon...
possibly starting as a rain/snow mix... becoming all snow by
late afternoon and early evening. Snow will then continue into

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Remember... a Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods
of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for
snow covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution
while driving.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite source of
weather information for the latest updates. Additional details
can also be found at www.Weather.Gov/iln.
