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.

Lake Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 12:03 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this
evening...

* locations... foothills and Piedmont of the Carolinas and
northeast Georgia.

* Hazards... windy conditions on area lakes.

* Timing... gusty northwest winds will develop early this afternoon
and will remain through early this evening. The strongest gusts
may occur during the mid afternoon.

* Winds... northwest 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 to 40 mph.

* Impacts... conditions will be unsafe for boating on area lakes.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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





Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:22 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Increased fire danger from Sunday morning through Sunday
evening...

Gusty northwest winds will continue to usher in a very dry and
cold air mass across the area through the weekend. Very low
dewpoints will result in relative humidity falling to 15 to 25
percent Sunday afternoon across northeast Georgia... upstate South
Carolina... and the foothills... western Piedmont... and southern
mountains of North Carolina. Northwest winds of 10 to 15
mph... with gusts around 20 mph will combine with the low relative
humidity to enhance the potential for the spread of wildfire.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn tomorrow. If you do burn... use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.

* Impacts... wild fire potential will increase this afternoon.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will
create explosive fire growth potential.
