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 Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:21 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Storm Watch in effect from late Sunday night through
Monday afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Little Rock has issued a Winter
Storm Watch... which is in effect from late Sunday night through
Monday afternoon.

* Timing... snow should begin across north central and west central
Arkansas later Sunday night. A wintry mix of snow... sleet and
freezing rain will eventually spread eastward over the remainder
of the area on Monday. Most of the precipitation will taper off
by late Monday and early Monday evening.

* Snow accumulations... 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected to
accumulate across much of northern Arkansas and the higher
elevations of the Ouachita Mountains in west central Arkansas.
Meanwhile... 1 to 2 inches of snowfall is possible over west
central Arkansas... before the precipitation changes over to a
mixture of snow... sleet... freezing rain and rain on Monday.

* Ice accumulations... ice accumulations of 0.10 to 0.20 of an inch
will be possible over much of west central Arkansas on Monday...
generally along and south of the Arkansas River valley. This
will greatly depend on the expected changeover from snow to
sleet and freezing rain... as well as surface temperature trends
on Monday.

* Impact... travel conditions will be treacherous starting late
Sunday night and continuing on Monday... as roadways become ice
and snow covered.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
