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 3:12 AM EST on February 12, 2012

... Lake Wind Advisory now in effect until 8 am EST this morning
for Lake Moultrie...

* winds: northwest winds 20 to 25 kt... diminishing to 15 to 20 kt
by mid-morning.

* Waves: 2 to 4 feet... highest eastern portions of the lake.

* Impacts: the combination of gusty winds and choppy waves will
create hazardous conditions for small boats and personal
watercraft on the lake.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Mariners should postpone activities on Lake Moultrie until
conditions improve later this morning. Gusty winds and rough
waves could capsize small boats.





Special Weather Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:26 AM EST on February 12, 2012

... Bitterly cold temperatures this morning...
... Wind chill values 9 to 14 degrees early Sunday...

Cold Arctic air has rapidly moving into southeast South Carolina
and southeast Georgia. Temperatures will continue to fall steadily
this morning and are expected to bottom out in the lower to mid
20s resulting in a hard freeze. Even the normally warmer beach
locations will see a hard freeze with lows also dropping into the
mid 20s. Stiff northwest winds will also persist resulting in very
cold wind chills for this part of the country. Wind chills are
expected to drop to between 9 and 14 degrees for most locations
prior to daybreak.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Be sure to dress appropriately if venturing out this morning.
Continue to drip pipes especially if your residence is elevated or
open below. The risk for pipes busting increases quickly when
temperatures drop below 25 degrees. Use extreme caution if using
space heaters.





308 am EST sun Feb 12 2012

... Fire Danger Statement...

Low fuel moisture combined with northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph
with gusts near 20 mph and critically low humidity of 15 to 20
percent will result in an enhanced fire danger across southeast
South Carolina and southeast Georgia today.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn Sunday. If you do burn... you are advised to use extreme
caution.






748 PM EST Sat Feb 11 2012

... Fire Danger Statement...

Low fuel moistures are expected to combine with northwest to west
winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts around 20 to 25 mph Sunday and
relative humidities dropping to around 18 percent away from the
immediate coast which will lead to an enhanced risk of fires
getting out of control across southeast South Carolina.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn Sunday. If you do burn... you are advised to use extreme
caution.
