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 Storm Warning
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:51 PM EST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 am EST Sunday...

* locations... the west facing slopes of Greenbrier County and
locations above 2500 feet.

* Hazard types... snow... gusty winds... bitter wind
chills... whiteout conditions.

* Accumulations... additional snow accumulation of 2 to 6 inches.
Storm total of 4 to 10 inches over the western slopes.

* Timing... through early Sunday.

* Impacts... snow covered roads along with reduced visibilities
will make for dangerous travel conditions.

* Winds... northwest 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.

* Temperatures... falling to the single digits to around 10 above.

* Wind chills... 5 below to 15 below zero tonight.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather
conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow
are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an
emergency.

The heavy snow and wind will allow for a rapid drop in
visibilities to less than a half mile in spots and cause whiteout
conditions.

If you have to venture out... wear several layers of clothing... a
hat and gloves.

The public is encouraged to report snowfall amounts to the
National Weather Service via email at rnk.Skywarn@noaa.Gov or at
phone number 1... 8 6 6... 2 1 5... 4 3 2 4.
