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.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 2:29 PM CST on February 11, 2012

... Widespread wintry mix expected late Sunday through early Monday...

As a storm system approaches the region... precipitation is expected
to begin late Sunday afternoon across far western Oklahoma and
adjacent parts of North Texas... then spread north and east Sunday
night. It appears that precipitation will start as snow at most
locations... then transition to a mixture of sleet and freezing rain
late Sunday night... before switching to rain or drizzle on Monday.
The greatest chance for accumulating snow is forecast to occur
across western Oklahoma Sunday evening... then across north-central
Oklahoma overnight Sunday into Monday morning. The greatest chance
of snow and sleet will occur from around Wichita Falls up through
Oklahoma City. The greatest chance for a glazing of ice from
freezing rain will be over south-central and southeast Oklahoma.

Current forecasts suggest that accumulations will be relatively
light and should not cause significant disruptions to travel or
power supplies. The maximum snow total expected is around three
inches. The maximum ice accumulations are expected to be less than
one-quarter inch. However... with it being quite cold through
Sunday... slick and hazardous bridges... overpasses... and sidewalks
may form quickly once precipitation begins.

You should check NOAA Weather Radio... or your favorite internet
and TV sources for the latest information on the upcoming winter
weather.
