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
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 8:48 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Wind Chill Advisory now in effect until 10 am EST Sunday...

* hazard types... bitter wind chills.

* Wind chill readings... 5 below to 15 below zero.

* Timing... tonight into Sunday morning.

* Impacts... dangerous wind chills.

* Winds... northwest 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.

* Temperatures... single digits in the higher terrain to teens
elsewhere.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in
frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
If you must venture outdoors... make sure you wear a hat and
gloves.





High Wind Warning
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 8:50 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... High Wind Warning remains in effect until 4 am EST Sunday...

* locations... along and near the Blue Ridge and higher terrain
of the Alleghany Highlands.

* Hazards... damaging wind gusts.

* Winds... northwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.

* Timing... through late tonight.

* Impacts... downed trees and power lines.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A High Wind Warning means a hazardous high wind event is expected
or occurring. Wind gusts up to 60 mph are likely to cause
sporadic power outages... fallen trees... minor property damage...
and dangerous driving conditions for high profile vehicles.
Residents should move unfastened items... such as garbage cans and
deck furniture... indoors.

Tractor trailers... or other high profile vehicles... may easily be
blown into another Lane or even overturn with winds this strong.
This is especially true along Interstate 77 near Fancy Gap
Virginia.

The public is encouraged to report wind gusts or wind damage to
the National Weather Service via email at rnk.Skywarn@noaa.Gov or
