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 Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 9:56 AM CST on February 11, 2012

... Wind Advisory in effect until 6 PM CST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Huntsville has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect until 6 PM CST this evening.

* Winds... prevailing northwesterly winds around 25 mph are expected
across all of northern Alabama and southern middle Tennessee
through late this afternoon. In addition to this... winds will
frequently gust to around 35 mph. Both sustained wind speeds and
gusts will be higher in elevated terrain... primarily above 1250
feet.

* Impacts... winds of this magnitude will blow around any unsecured
outdoor objects. Loose tree limbs may also be blown down... and
driving will become difficult... especially for high profile
vehicles.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds in excess of 25 mph... or
gusts in excess of 35 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make
driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution. In addition... ensure all loose outdoor objects remain
secure... including patio furniture and trash cans.




Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 1:30 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Dangerously low wind chills expected overnight...

A very cold Arctic air mass will continue to spread southeastward
overnight... with low temperatures falling into the 15 to 20 degree
range for most locations. The cold air temperatures... when combined
with a persistent northwest wind around 10 mph... will result in wind
chill values falling to between 8 and 12 degrees. In the higher
terrain of northeast Alabama and southern middle Tennessee...
temperatures will be colder and winds will be stronger... with wind
chills approaching zero. Anyone venturing outdoors this evening and
overnight is encouraged to prepare for dangerously low wind chills by
dressing appropriately and limiting time spent outside.


Fire Weather Warning
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:43 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Red flag warning in effect from 11 am to 6 PM CST Sunday for
all fire weather zones in northern Alabama for 4 or more
consecutive hours of relative humidity at or below 25 percent...

The National Weather Service in Huntsville has issued a red flag
warning... which is in effect from 11 am to 6 PM CST Sunday. This
warning replaces the Fire Weather Watch that was previously in
effect.

* Affected areas: Lauderdale... Colbert... Franklin al... Lawrence...
Limestone... Madison... Morgan... Marshall... Jackson... DeKalb...
and Cullman counties.

* Timing: Sunday afternoon.

* Relative humidity: values will fall into the 20-25 percent range
for around five hours on Sunday afternoon.

* Impacts: a dry Arctic air mass will persist across northern Alabama
on Sunday... resulting in critical fire weather conditions.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. Low relative humidity
over a prolonged period will increase fire growth potential.
