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 Chill Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 1:26 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect from 1 am EST /midnight
CST/ to 10 am EST /9 am CST/ Sunday...

* wind chill values... by daybreak Sunday... minimum wind chill
readings will be 16 to 18 degrees across southeast Alabama
rising modestly to the southeast to 18 to 20 degrees across much
of northwest Florida.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chills. This could lead to
hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you venture
outdoors... consider wearing a hat and gloves.





Wind Advisory, Hard Freeze Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 1:36 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Wind Advisory now in effect until 8 PM EST /7 PM CST/ this
evening...

the afternoon and subsiding to 10 mph or less this evening.

* Temperature... minimum temperatures will be 26 to 31 degrees by
daybreak Sunday with total freeze durations of up to 8 hours.
A hard freeze with even colder temperatures is expected Sunday
night into Monday morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds or frequent gusts of
26 to 39 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving
difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra
caution. Conditions will also be hazardous on area lakes.

A hard freeze watch means sub-freezing temperatures are possible.
These conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.
