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.

Lake Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:08 AM CST on February 11, 2012

... Lake Wind Advisory in effect from 9 am this morning to 6 PM
CST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Little Rock has issued a lake
Wind Advisory... which is in effect from 9 am this morning to 6 PM
CST this evening.

* Event: north to northwest winds at 15 to 25 mph are expected...
with gusts to 30 mph. This will occur in areas from Yellville
to Little Rock and Monticello eastward.

* Timing: winds will pick up this morning... with breezy conditions
continuing through the afternoon.

* Impact: gusty winds will create rough chop on area lakes and
rivers.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Boaters are advised to use caution on area tributaries. Small
boats will be especially prone to capsizing.





Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 7:05 AM CST on February 11, 2012

... A mixture of winter precipitation is expected across the natural
state Monday...

Arctic high pressure will move into the region this weekend.
Well below normal temperatures are in the forecast... with the coldest
air of the winter thus far. High temperatures today and
Sunday will only be in the 30s and 40s... with some mid and upper 20s
in the northwest. Low temperatures by Sunday morning will be in
single digits to the lower 20s.

It will remain cold on Monday as a new storm system approaches from
the Southern Plains. The system will pull moisture north from the
Gulf Coast... and wintry precipitation will develop.

As the precipitation moves in from the west early Monday morning... a
mixture of snow and sleet is expected across northern and central
Arkansas. Across the south... there may be a combination of rain and
freezing rain.

As the day progresses... warmer air will try to overspread the
region from the south. Snow should continue toward the Missouri
border... but a mixture of rain... freezing rain... and sleet will
be possible across western and central Arkansas. Across the far
south... a switchover to all rain is anticipated.

Due to the mixture of precipitation... both the morning and afternoon
commutes may be hazardous across the state.

As the system moves out of the area Monday night... drizzle will be
possible. Even if temperatures rise above freezing Monday
afternoon... most areas will fall below freezing during the evening...
with freezing drizzle possible Monday night. This will cause travel
issues even in areas that received rain during the day.

This could be a significant winter event in parts of the state.
The pattern is very complex... and forecast refinements are
likely leading up to the event... as a degree or two change in
temperature will have a major impact. Arkansans are advised to
monitor the forecast this weekend... and plan accordingly.
