Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday, February 12, 2012.

The East dries out on Sunday, but wet weather continues moving through the West. A trough of low pressure advances eastward over the Great Basin and Central Rockies, producing moderate snow showers over Utah and Colorado. Winter weather advisories have been issued for parts of western Colorado as snowfall accumulations may reach from 6 to 8 inches by Sunday evening. Most of Utah, western Wyoming, and northern New Mexico should see lighter snow showers with accumulation around 1 to 2 inches. The tail end of this trough will extend into western Texas, bringing snow and freezing rain showers into northwestern Texas. Precipitation from this system will move into the Texas Panhandle late Sunday into Monday morning. Winter storm warnings have been issued for the region as 3 to 5 inches of snow are possible, with ice accumulations from 0.10 to 0.30 inches by Sunday evening. This will cause dangerous roads and travel conditions.

Meanwhile, another trough of low pressure and associated cold front approach the West Coast on Sunday. This system will reach the coasts of the Pacific Northwest and northern California in the afternoon and evening hours, bringing more rain showers. Temperatures will remain cool over most of the West Coast as this system pushes clouds and moisture onshore.

In the East, a strong ridge of high pressure allows for dry, sunny, and cool weather to persist. This system creates strong flow from the north, pushing cold air into the Plains and Eastern Valleys. Expect highs to range in the 20s in the Midwest, while the Ohio River Valley and Tennessee Valleys will see highs in the 30s. Freeze advisories have been issued for the Gulf states as low temperatures will drop into the 20s Sunday night. Dangerous fire conditions spread over the Southeastern states due to high pressure creating a very dry airmas with strong winds.

Lake Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:26 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 4 am EST Sunday...

A lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 4 am EST Sunday.

* Hazards: strong winds.

* Winds: winds northwest 20 to 25 knots. Gusts as high as 35
knots.

* Timing: through early Sunday morning.

* Impacts: strong gusty winds will create hazardous boating
conditions on area lakes.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake Wind Advisory indicates that winds will cause rough chop
on area lakes. Small boats and personal watercraft will be
especially prone to capsizing.





Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 6:01 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Elevated fire danger Sunday...

Wind is not expected to reach the red flag warning criteria
on Sunday. However... low humidity and low fuel moisture will
result in elevated fire danger. Winds Sunday will be northwest to
west at 10 to 15 mph with gusts near 25 mph. Afternoon relative
humidities will lower to near 15 percent over much of the area.

The South Carolina forestry commission has posted a red flag fire

outdoor burning until conditions improve.
