Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, February 11, 2012.

Precipitation will spread across the East Coast on Saturday, while more rain and mountain snow showers are anticipated for parts of the West. A trough of low pressure and associated cold front continue moving eastward across the Eastern Valleys into the Eastern Seaboard. Cool temperatures to the north will allow for snow showers to develop across the Northeast and New England, while rain showers are likely over the Mid-Atlantic states. Rain showers over the Southeastern states should wind down in the early morning hours as the tail end of the system pushes offshore early in the day. Expect the New York metropolitan area to see 1 to 3 inches of snow, while the Washington D.C. area will see a messy combination of snow and freezing rain as high temperatures reach into the lower 40s.

Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure continues to build in from the Plains, pushing cold and dry air in from Canada. This allows for plenty of sunshine to spread from the Plains over the Mississippi River Valley and into the Eastern Valleys. Expect the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest to see highs in the teens again, while the Midwest will see highs in the 20s. Strong winds will accompany this system, pushing windchill values below zero in these areas. The Southern Plains will remain in the 40s on Saturday.

Out West, a trough of low pressure pushes a cold front over the Pacific Northwest and continues pulling moisture onshore with it. This will kick up more rain showers with high elevation snow showers likely in the Cascades. The tail end of the frontal boundary will sweep through California, bringing light rain showers to the coasts and interior valleys. Expect light snow showers in the Sierra Nevadas by Saturday evening.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 12:11 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... A wintry mix still on tap for Sunday night into Monday...

A mix of wintry precipitation is expected across eastern Oklahoma
and northwest Arkansas late Sunday night... continuing into the day
Monday. Given the timing of the precipitation... some impacts are
expected for the Monday morning commute.

A fast moving storm system will move out of the Desert Southwest
late this weekend... resulting in precipitation development across
the Southern Plains. With cold air already in place... the
precipitation will likely begin as snow across eastern Oklahoma
late Sunday night... spreading into northwest Arkansas Monday
morning.

As the storm system moves closer to and over the area... temperatures
aloft will increase from southwest to northeast... which will cause
the snow to transition to sleet and/or freezing rain over a good
portion of the area on Monday. The heavier precipitation will be
ending from west to east starting around midday Monday... with
lingering areas of drizzle or freezing drizzle into Monday night.

The highest snow accumulations will likely occur near the Kansas
and Missouri borders... as well as in the higher terrain areas of
northwest Arkansas. At this time... it appears that 1 to 4 inches of
snow and sleet accumulation is likely with locally higher amounts
possible. There is also the potential for some minor ice
accumulations to the south of the heavier snow band. Prolonged power
outages or similar major ice impacts are not expected.

Persons should continue to monitor the latest forecasts as snow
and ice amounts continue to be refined through the weekend. A
Winter Storm Watch may be needed for some areas late Sunday night
into Monday.

... Wintry precipitation looking likely for Sunday night into
Monday...

A mix of wintry precipitation is expected across eastern Oklahoma
and northwest Arkansas late Sunday night... continuing into
the day Monday. The timing of precipitation could mean impacts for
the Monday morning commute.

A fast moving storm system will move out of the Desert Southwest
late this weekend... resulting in precipitation development across
the Southern Plains. With cold air already in place... the
precipitation will likely begin as snow across eastern Oklahoma
late Sunday night... spreading into northwest Arkansas Monday
morning.

As the storm system moves closer to and over the area... temperatures
aloft will increase from south to north... which will cause the
snow to transition to sleet and freezing rain Monday morning into
Monday afternoon. The heavier precipitation will likely end
from west to east by late Monday afternoon with lingering areas of
drizzle or freezing drizzle into Monday evening.

The highest snow accumulations will likely occur near the Kansas
and Missouri borders... as well as in the higher terrain areas of
northwest Arkansas. At this time... it appears that 1 to 3 inches
of snow accumulation is likely with locally higher amounts possible.
Sleet amounts approaching a quarter inch will also be possible
south of Interstate 44. There is also the potential for some
minor ice accumulations to the south of the heavier snow band.
Prolonged power outages or similar major ice impacts are not
expected.

Persons should continue to monitor the latest forecasts as snow
and ice amounts continue to be refined through the weekend. A
Winter Storm Watch may be needed for some areas late Sunday night
into Monday.
