Weather Summary
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.

Nowcast as of 1:35 PM CST on February 12, 2012
National Weather Service dual pol Doppler radar indicates snow continuing to spread north and northeast across the Texas Panhandle and into the Oklahoma Panhandle. The snow area extends from near Shamrock...to Miami...Spearman and just west of Guymon. The snow will move to the northeast around 25 mph and spread into the northeast Texas Panhandle and eastern Oklahoma Panhandle through 3pm CST. Snowfall accumulations of one to three inches will be common this afternoon with a few areas close to four inches. Motorists will need to use extreme caution as the snow is accumulating on streets very quickly due to the sub- freezing temperatures over the past two days. Numerous roll- overs and vehicle accidents are being reported on area roadways due to the slick conditions.
Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 9 PM CST this evening...

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 5:57 AM CST on February 12, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 9 am this
morning to 9 PM CST this evening...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow remains in effect from 9 am this
morning to 9 PM CST this evening.

* Event... snow is expected across the southwest and south
central Texas Panhandle today and this evening. Snowfall
accumulations of 1 to 3 inches... with locally higher amounts
of up to 4 inches across the far south central Texas
Panhandle... are expected.

* Timing... snow will develop and overspread the southwest and
south central portions of the Texas Panhandle by late this
morning. Snow will continue through the afternoon hours before
tapering off during the evening.

* Impacts... roads and bridges may become slick from the snow...
leading to hazardous travel conditions. In addition... southerly
winds of 15 to 25 mph may lead to blowing snow... occasionally
reducing visibilities.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or
freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for
slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.
