Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, February 09, 2012.

Areas of active weather developed over the West on Thursday, while Texas saw a mix of snow, freezing rain, and rain. A trough of low pressure moved off the Southern Rockies and into the Southern Plains. This allowed for snow showers to end over New Mexico and moved into northern Texas and Oklahoma. Snowfall accumulation in northern New Mexico ranged from 1 to 3 inches, while the panhandle of Texas saw an inch of snow and ice accumulation up to a tenth of an inch. Winter weather advisories have been issued for parts of the Southern Plains as this system created dangerous road and travel conditions. To the south, onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico pushed moist air into eastern Texas. This kicked up scattered showers and thunderstorms from northeastern Mexico and through southeastern Texas. These storms have not yet turned severe.

In the West, a low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska continued pushing a warm front into the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures increased as this system moved onshore, which increased snow levels across the Washington Cascades. Precipitation remained as rain showers in most areas. Rainfall totals ranged around 1 inch, with heaviest rainfall totals up to 1.12 inches in Chehalis, Washington.

Back East, a ridge of high pressure covered the Mississippi River Valley and Eastern US. This pushed cool and dry air in from Canada and created sunny skies with brisk conditions. High temperatures ranged in the 30s across the Great Lakes region, while the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states reached into the upper 40s.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:49 PM CST on February 9, 2012

... National Weather Service in Brownsville to begin offering
multimedia web briefings on March 7th...

They say a picture is Worth a thousand words. For several
years... the National Weather Service /NWS/ office in Brownsville
serving the Rio Grande Valley and all of deep south Texas... provided
an audio briefing at least once per day. This briefing described
expected weather conditions... and potential impacts and
hazards... for the next few days or more. Technology inside and
outside the NWS has improved rapidly in recent years... with
broadband internet and faster personal computers more common in the Rio
Grande Valley... as well as a rapidly increasing number of smart
devices such as cell phones and tablets.

For these reasons... and based on user surveys of our most critical
partners in emergency management... public
health... transportation... media... and others... the NWS in
Brownsville will begin issuing a multimedia briefing on March
7th 2012. The briefing will be posted prominently on our web
Page... and linked from current and future social media portals. The
briefing will also be available for download as a video or audio
file.

The briefing will include graphics... voice... and text to support
planning activities and decision making for all users. Content will
focus on weather for the Rio Grande Valley and the south Texas
region and use non technical language and easy to explain graphics
to convey forecaster reasoning and confidence for upcoming weather
events.

During fair weather... briefings will be issued at least once per
day... generally between 6 and 8 am central time. Prior to and during
high impact events... the frequency of briefings will increase as
necessary to adequately address risks posed to the community.
Archived briefings will not be available on the website but will be
provided upon request.

A full description of the multimedia weather briefing is
available at
http://products.Weather.Gov/pdd/multimediaweatherbriefing.Pdf
