Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Valentine's Day will be greeted by a storm that will begin the day in the Mississippi Valley before moving eastward into the eastern third of the country. In the colder air to the north, snow is expected to fall through the Ohio Valley before moving into the Northeast in the evening. The warmer air to the north will only allow areas of light to moderate rain to form from Louisiana through the Carolinas. By the end of the day, much of the precipitation from this storm will be off the eastern seaboard, leaving warmer air in the Southern Plains and much colder air in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.

In the West, a storm will track through the Great Basin before slamming into the Rockies, where it will produce much needed high elevation snow. This will not be a tremendous snow producer, but several inches of the white stuff is expected.

Late in the day, a Pacific storm will make its approach to the West Coast. As the storm moves inland, it will instigate rain and high elevation snow in Washington and Oregon. This storm will be the next rain producer for California on Wednesday.

The Northeast will rise in to the 30s and 40s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The Northern Plains will rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Northwest will see temperatures in the 30s and 40s.

Dense Fog Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:43 AM CST on February 14, 2012

morning...

* event... dense fog is expected to develop and become widespread
tonight reducing visibilities to one quarter mile or less at
times.

* Timing... fog has already developed across East Texas and will
spread across the remainder of the area before beginning to
dissipate between 10 am and 11 am Tuesday morning.

* Impact... visibilities will be reduced to one quarter mile or
less at times and roads may become damp or wet.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

use your headlights... and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.





Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 6:10 am CST on February 14, 2012

... Public information statement...

... Continuing severe weather awareness week in Louisiana...

This mornings topics are drought & fire weather...

Drought and wildfires seem to go hand in hand. Over the years...
wildfires have claimed hundreds of thousands of acres across Texas...
Oklahoma and portions of Louisiana and Arkansas. Unfortunately... the
current La Nina pattern favors warmer and drier than normal
conditions across the four state region... and the climate
prediction center continues to maintain above normal probabilities
for above normal temperatures across all of the four state
region through late Spring... as well as above normal probabilities
for below normal rainfall across East Texas and north Louisiana.
Severe to extreme drought conditions continue to plague all of the
four state region... and the potential for above normal
temperatures and below normal rainfall this Spring as a result of
the ongoing La Nina pattern will only aggravate the ongoing
drought... while also enhancing the potential wildfire threat.

We should not let down our guard. Wildfires can occur during any
year... even wet ones. And not all wildfires are the same. As a matter
of fact... the weather largely dictates fire behavior... controlling
how quickly a fire spreads... how hot and how long the flames grow...
and whether the fire is able to jump a Road or other barrier.
Temperature... humidity and wind are the controlling parameters that
affect fire behavior.

In some cases... National Weather Service meteorologists are tasked
with forecasting weather conditions near an ongoing wildfire. These
forecasts help firefighters develop a strategy to fight the fire with
greater efficiency and safety. A sudden shift in wind direction can
put fire fighters in great danger... possibly blowing flames or
suffocating smoke in their direction. This type of forecasting has
its own name... a fire weather forecast. A local wildfire forecast is
commonly called a spot forecast due to the small area of interest.

The National Weather Service would like to thank everyone involved in
making severe weather awareness week a Success.

across the four state region dating back to the 1978 Shreveport F4
tornado... please visit... www.Srh.NOAA.Gov/shv/events/
