Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Precipitation will spread across the East Coast on Saturday, while more rain and mountain snow showers are anticipated for parts of the West. A trough of low pressure and associated cold front continue moving eastward across the Eastern Valleys into the Eastern Seaboard. Cool temperatures to the north will allow for snow showers to develop across the Northeast and New England, while rain showers are likely over the Mid-Atlantic states. Rain showers over the Southeastern states should wind down in the early morning hours as the tail end of the system pushes offshore early in the day. Expect the New York metropolitan area to see 1 to 3 inches of snow, while the Washington D.C. area will see a messy combination of snow and freezing rain as high temperatures reach into the lower 40s.

Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure continues to build in from the Plains, pushing cold and dry air in from Canada. This allows for plenty of sunshine to spread from the Plains over the Mississippi River Valley and into the Eastern Valleys. Expect the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest to see highs in the teens again, while the Midwest will see highs in the 20s. Strong winds will accompany this system, pushing windchill values below zero in these areas. The Southern Plains will remain in the 40s on Saturday.

Out West, a trough of low pressure pushes a cold front over the Pacific Northwest and continues pulling moisture onshore with it. This will kick up more rain showers with high elevation snow showers likely in the Cascades. The tail end of the frontal boundary will sweep through California, bringing light rain showers to the coasts and interior valleys. Expect light snow showers in the Sierra Nevadas by Saturday evening.

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 10:16 AM EST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this
evening...

* locations... northwest mountains and Laurel Highlands.

* Hazard types... snow and gusty winds.

* Accumulations... another one to two inches of snow... resulting
in totals of generally 2 to 3 inches through 7 PM. Additional
lake effect snow is anticipated tonight and Sunday... but this
advisory does not cover that separate event. Additional
advisories may be necessary later today to cover the potential
of heavier lake effect snow.

* Timing... late tonight through Saturday.

* Impacts... difficult travel conditions due to reduced
visibility and snow accumulations. Gusty winds combined with
temperatures falling into the single digits and teens will
produce wind chills below zero Saturday night.

* Winds... northwest 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. These
gusty winds will lead to the low visibilities in any snow
showers and perhaps lead to some blowing snow.

* Temperatures... 13 to 26.

* Visibilities... mainly 2 miles but below one-half mile at times
in heavier snow showers and brief squalls.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered
roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
Motorists should be especially cautious on bridges and
overpasses... where slippery spots develop first. Stay tuned to
NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite source of weather information
for the latest updates. Additional details can also be found at...
weather.Gov/statecollege.
