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.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 6:12 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Heavy snow...

Bands of heavy snow showers to move through the following counties...
Columbiana... Allegheny... Beaver... Fayette... Lawrence... Washington...
Hancock... Brooke and Fayette ridges...

At 606 PM EST National Weather Service Doppler radar in Pittsburgh
indicated bands of heavy snow showers along a line extending from 3
miles east of Columbiana to 4 miles east of New Manchester to 5 miles
northeast of Avella to 4 miles west of Bentleyville... moving
northeast at 20 mph.

Some locations that will be impacted by these bands of heavy snow
showers include...
Beaver Creek State Park... Columbiana... East Liverpool... East
Palestine... Avella... Bentleyville... Brownsville... Burgettstown...
California... Canonsburg... Enterprise... Florence... Harshaville...
Hopwood... Raccoon Creek State Park... Uniontown... Waltersburg...
Washington... Chester... New Manchester... Newell and Tomlinson Run
State Park

Snowfall rates of more than an inch an hour will occur in the band
with wind gusts to 40 mph. The snow and wind will drop visibilities
to near zero at times.

Please report snow amounts to the National Weather Service by calling
toll free... 1-877-633-6772.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Travelers need to be alert for conditions suddenly becoming hazardous
