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.

Winter Storm Warning, Wind Chill Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 10:17 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 7 am EST Sunday...
... Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until noon EST Sunday...

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 7 am EST Sunday. A
Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until noon EST Sunday.

* Hazard types... heavy snow... blowing snow and low wind chills.

* Accumulations... totals of 6 to 12 inches of snow.

* Impacts... snow accumulations will make travel difficult. Blowing snow
will reduce visibilities and may recover roadways. All
unnecessary travel should be avoided.

* Wind chills... 10 below zero or colder mainly for elevations
above 2500 feet.

* Winds... northwest 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 30 to 40 mph.

* Temperatures... in the teens... with readings on either side of
zero for elevations above 3500 feet.

* Visibilities... quite variable in snow showers and blowing snow
and will be reduced to a quarter mile or less at times.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather
conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of
snow are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in
an emergency. If you must travel... keep an extra flashlight...
food... and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.

Please report snow accumulations to the National Weather Service
by calling toll free... 877-633-6772.

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.
