Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, February 10, 2012.

Expect active weather to move into the East on Friday, as a trough of low pressure moves from the Southern Plains and into the Eastern Valleys. Flow around this system will pull moisture and energy in from the Gulf of Mexico. This will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi River Valley throughout the day. There is a slight chance that these storms will turn severe with strong winds and heavy downpours. The northern side of this system will push a cold front into the Midwest, which will move through the Great Lakes and into the Ohio River Valley. Expect light and scattered snow showers to develop along the front as it passes through northern Michigan and into the eastern Ohio Valley and the Central Appalachians. Warmer temperatures ahead of this system will allow for rain showers to develop in parts of the Mid-Atlantic states and the Tennessee Valley.

Out West, a weak trough of low pressure moves onshore from the Pacific Ocean, bringing some moisture onshore with it. This will produce more rain and high elevation snow showers over the Pacific Northwest. Some of this moisture will stretch southward into northern California, allowing for light rain and high elevation snow showers to spread into the northern Sierras.

      A return to winter weather...for a short while.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
==Discussion==
a sharp Arctic cold front will cross southern Ontario late today and
this evening. Some flurries or light snow will develop in some areas
today but the real wintery weather will arrive this evening. The
front is expected to reach the traditional snow belts this afternoon
and a line from Windsor through Toronto to Ottawa this evening. It
will be accompanied by brisk northerly winds and some snow.
Temperatures will fall fairly quickly after the front's passage,
resulting in potentially icy conditions on untreated roads.

The front will likely be delayed until mid evening in the greater
Toronto area, sparing most commuters from a challenging drive home.
Travel may still be rather difficult for many regions after the
frontal passage due to any wet snow on roads quickly freezing due to
falling temperatures and accumulating snow. A flash freeze is
possible in some areas, and this will continue to be monitored with
a warning possible if it becomes more certain.

Otherwise, an area of snow is expected to Blossom tonight in the
wake of the front across many parts of southern Ontario. Snowfall
amounts of 5 to 10 centimetres are likely across portions of the
southwest through Niagara to Hamilton, with about 2 to 4 around the
Toronto area, and lesser amounts farther north and east. This
snowfall would mitigate the impacts of a flash freeze with
accumulating snow more of an issue than icy roads. Also, bracing
north winds up to 50 km/h will also create some local blowing snow
and cold wind chills approaching minus 25.

Following a Cold Saturday, temperatures will rebound somewhat on
Sunday then return to above normal by Monday or Tuesday.
