Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Sunday, February 12, 2012.

Unsettled weather developed over parts of the West on Sunday as a trough of low pressure dug across the region. The system kicked up widely scattered snow showers in the Four Corners with moderate snow accumulations. The San Juan Mountains experienced heavy snow with snow accumulations expected to reach up to 17 inches by Sunday night. Snow accumulations in the nearby valley were expected to reach up to 8 inches. Meanwhile, snow accumulations for other mountains in the Four Corners were expected to range between 4 to 10 inches, with local accumulations of up to 14 inches. In addition to snow, isolated thunderstorms developed ahead of the trough in parts of New Mexico. Small hail, brief heavy rain, and small bursts of heavy snow above 7,000 feet were the main impacts with these thunderstorms. Further ahead of this system, a mix of wintry precipitation with sleet, freezing rain, and snow spread into Texas. Snow accumulations were expected to range from 1 to 3 inches. Winter Weather Advisories remained in effect from the Southern Plains through the Mid-Mississippi Valley in anticipation of this system's precipitation.

Elsewhere in the West, lighter snow developed in parts of Idaho and Wyoming, while an approaching Pacific frontal system spread thickening clouds across the Pacific Northwest and northern California coasts this afternoon.

In the East, lake-effect snow showers with periods of heavy snow and blowing snow continued along the Lower Great Lakes Snowbelt. Total snow accumulations of up to 8 inches were expected in parts of the Lower Great Lakes Snowbelt.

Finally, temperatures east of the Continental Divide remained quite cold this afternoon. Areas from the High Plains through the Ohio Valley and the northern Mid-Atlantic experienced highs in the 20s and 30s, the Northeast experienced highs ranging from upper 0s to 30s, and the Deep South only reached into the 40s, 50s, and 60s by the afternoon.

Nowcast as of 4:27 PM CST on February 12, 2012
A band of mixed precipitation is moving in from the southwest. Some rain...sleet...and snow is occurring with this activity. At 430 PM the band was located along a line from Mexia to Waco to Comanche. It will be moving into the metroplex after 6 PM. Light accumulations of sleet and snow are possible on grass and elevated surfaces...but temperatures over much of the area remain above freezing...and thus accumulations will be brief. As the evening progresses...more substantial wintry precipitation is expected to develop along and north of a line from Comanche to Weatherford to Denton. These areas may experience some snow accumulations of up to an inch as temperatures are expected to fall to near or below freezing in this area.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:14 PM CST on February 12, 2012

... Winter weather expected for North Texas...

A mix of sleet and snow is expected to occur over most of North
Texas this afternoon into Monday morning. A Winter Weather Advisory
for accumulations of one to two inches has been issued for areas
along and northwest of a line from Eastland to Weatherford to Denton
to McKinney to Paris.

Southeast of this advisory area... the rest of North Texas will see a
mix of sleet and snow this afternoon into this evening... becoming
sleet mixed with rain near midnight and then all rain before
sunrise in all areas except those north of Interstate 30 and east of
Interstate 35. By mid morning those last areas will change to rain
as well.

Accumulations near the winter advisory area may reach up to three
tenths of an inch... but with warm ground temperatures these
accumulations should only affect elevated surfaces such as bridges
and overpasses. Exercise caution when driving... because it may be
hard to see any ice on roadways before reaching it.

As the atmosphere continues to warm overnight... precipitation
will change to rain and the winter weather threat should end by
sunrise Monday west of Interstate 35 and north of Interstate
20... and by mid morning in all areas.

As with all winter events... the situation has the potential to
change. If accumulations are expected farther south... the advisory
may be expanded.
