Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Wednesday, February 08, 2012.

More wet and active weather continued in the East on Wednesday as a low pressure system from the Tennessee Valley moved east through the Mid-Atlantic. The system produced light to moderate snow showers in parts of the Ohio Valley and the Central Appalachians and a mix of rain and snow in the Mid-Atlantic. Up to one inch of snow was expected in the Washington, D.C. area today, while higher snow totals of up to 4 inches were expected in the high terrain of eastern West Virginia., western Maryland, and south central Pennsylvania. Elsewhere in the East, isolated showers formed in the southern tip of Texas and in parts of south Florida.

In the West, a weak disturbance moved over western Oregon and Washington during the morning and a weak warm front lifted slowly northward across the region during the afternoon. These systems brought some very light rain to the region ranging from a trace in some interior valleys to a tenth of an inch along the coast. Meanwhile, energy from the Northwest began to spread southeastward into the Central Great Basin this afternoon, creating chances for a few inches of snow in the mountains late this afternoon with some light rain and snow showers possible over the lower valleys.
