Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Cold air poured into the Plains on Saturday, while snow showers developed in parts of the Northeast. A strong low pressure system that brought heavy rain to the Southern Plains and Southeast has advanced eastward and off the East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. However, counter-clockwise flow around this system continued to push moisture into the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Ohio River Valley. In addition to cool air over the region, this allowed for snow showers to develop across Michigan and the Ohio River Valley. Snowfall accumulations ranged from 1 to 3 inches in most areas, with up to 5 inches at higher elevations of the Central Appalachians. Coastal regions remained slightly warmer, which maintained light rain showers from southern Maine through Virginia.

Behind this system, a dominant ridge of high pressure continued to build over the Plains. This system started to stretch eastward over the Mississippi Valley. Flow around this system pulled cold air in from central Canada and kept seasonable cool temperatures over the Central US. High temperatures only reached into the 30s in parts of northern Texas, while the Central and Northern Plains saw highs in the teens, with overnight lows in the negative teens.

Out West, cool conditions persisted with areas of wet weather as a trough of low pressure moved over the Pacific Northwest and into the Intermountain West and Great Basin. Rainfall totals and high elevation snow accumulation remained light. A few light rain showers extended into California as moist onshore flow persisted.

Wind Chill Advisory, Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 7:25 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Wind Chill Advisory in effect until 9 am EST Sunday...
... Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 4 am EST Sunday...

The National Weather Service in Morristown has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snowfall... which is in effect until 4 am EST
Sunday. A Wind Chill Advisory has also been issued. This Wind Chill
Advisory is in effect until 9 am EST Sunday.

* Event... much colder temperatures and breezy northwest winds will
combine to produce wind chills of minus 5 to minus 10 degrees
overnight. Additionally... Wise County will continue to see new
snowfall... mainly over higher elevations. Additional snowfall of
1 to 2 inches is possible.

* Timing... accumulating snow showers will linger into the overnight
hours through 4 am EST... especially in areas where upslope brisk
northwest winds occur. Dangerous wind chills will occur overnight
through 9 am EST Sunday morning.

* Wind chill values... minus 5 to minus 10 degrees.


Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow are
expected or occurring... but accumulations are expected to be
light. Driving and walking may be difficult on untreated roadways
and sidewalks. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited
visibilities. If you must travel... slow down and allow extra time
to reach your destination.

A Wind Chill Advisory means that cold air and strong winds will
combine to generate very low wind chills. These conditions can
result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia or even death if
precautions are not taken. Those venturing outdoors should dress
warmly... making sure all exposed skin is covered.
