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.

Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:18 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Winter weather event expected late Sunday night through Monday night...

A storm system will move into the Midwest on Monday. Moisture
will gradually spread northward into the region late Sunday
night and interact with a cold airmass already in place. Light
snow will begin across extreme southeast Kansas and portions of
southwest Missouri along and west of the Highway 65 corridor prior
to sunrise Monday. This light snow will spread over the entire
area during the day Monday... with periods of light snow expected
through the day. It is possible for light snow to mix with light
sleet and freezing rain Monday afternoon in areas along and south
of the Highway 60 corridor. Light snow is expected to change to
freezing drizzle Monday evening... which will persist across the
Missouri Ozarks through Monday night.

Storm total snow accumulations of one to three inches are expected
by Monday evening. While these snow totals will be light... ground
conditions will be below freezing at the onset of snowfall and
precipitation will quickly stick to roads and other exposed
surfaces. The Monday morning commute will be affected by
accumulating light snow... especially for areas along and west of
the Highway 65 corridor.

Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or your local media for the further
updates on this episode of wintry weather expected from late
Sunday night through Monday night.
