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 Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:19 PM MST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 am Sunday to noon MST
Monday...

The National Weather Service in Grand Junction has issued a
Winter Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from 6 am
Sunday to noon MST Monday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in
effect.

* Timing... snow will spread southwest to northeast across the area
early Sunday morning. Snow will then continue Sunday and Sunday
night before diminishing Monday afternoon.

* Snow accumulation... 6 to 12 inches by noon Monday.

* Winds... south to southwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25
mph tonight and Sunday morning... then becoming west late
Sunday afternoon and Sunday night.

* Visibility... 1 to 2 miles in snow dropping to less than one mile
at times during periods of heavier snow.

* Impacts... mountain roads and highways will become icy and snow
packed. Travel will also be affected by reduced visibilities
and some blowing and drifting snow over the passes.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow and/or
blowing snow will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for
slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.
