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.

colder Arctic air continues to move in on brisk northwest winds.
Temperatures will fall below freezing in most communities by 11 PM
to 1 am... and will bottom out between 20 and 25 Sunday morning.
Even the beaches will be impacted... with shoreline temperatures to
plunge to the upper 20s. When combined with the wind... the wind
chill temperature for late tonight and Sunday morning will be down
as low as 9 to 16 degrees for several hours. It/ll take until 9-11
am Sunday for temperature to reach above the freezing mark... but
with temperatures will struggle to reach no higher than the middle
40s for the afternoon.

As the center of the Arctic high settles closer to the region
Sunday night and Monday morning... temperatures will drop quickly
with sunset. With mostly calm winds and clear skies... we/ll see
temperatures fall below freezing again in most communities by 8 or
9 PM. With plentiful radiational cooling to occur... lowest
temperatures will be down in the upper teens and lower 20s away
from the coast at the start of Monday. The beaches will not be as
cold as tonight... but still down into the lower 30s for overnight
lows.

We have not had much cold weather this winter... and as a reminder
here are a few cold weather preparedness and safety actions...

Try to stay inside as much as possible. If you must be outside...
dress appropriately for the cold weather.

Remember to protect your water pipes to prevent then from bursting.
Cover or insulate those pipes if possible. Let at least one faucet
drip inside your home during each night. Open up the Cabinet doors
underneath all sinks to allow for warmer air to circulate inside.

Do not Forget about your pets. If you can... bring them inside at
night. If this is not possible... make sure they will have plenty
of warmth such as blankets or other coverings to remain warm.
Ensure that they have plenty of unfrozen drinking water.

Check on the elderly and others such as Young children and those
with illnesses that may be more susceptible to very cold
temperatures.

Be extra careful if using electric space heaters to prevent fires
from occurring.
