Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, February 23, 2012.

Unsettled weather will continue across the northern half of the nation on Thursday. IN the East, a disturbance from the Midwest will lift northeastward through the Ohio Valley into the Northeast. The system will bring widely scattered rain showers, periods of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms from the Tennessee and Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic. A mix of precipitation is expected in the Northeast Thursday through Friday. Expect periods of localized significant wet snowfall across the higher elevation and east of Lake Ontario. In addition to snow, periods of heavy rainfall are anticipated in much of New England. To the south, there will be a slight risk of severe thunderstorms ahead of an associated cold front late Thursday into Thursday night across parts of the Lower Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the Gulf States. Isolated supercells in these regions may produce large hail, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes.

Behind this activity, energy from the Northwest will advance into the Upper Midwest. Moisture spreading into the Plains will aid in producing rain and snow in the Northern Plains and rain showers in the Mid-Mississippi Valley and western Ohio Valley. As this system advances southeastward, expect areas of snow showers to persist over portion of the Northwest and Central Rockies.

Elsewhere, warm temperatures will remain in place from the Central and Southern Plains through the Mid-Atlantic, before the next trough of low pressure arrives Friday with cooler weather.

Winter Weather Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 10:39 PM CST on February 22, 2012

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from noon to 6 PM CST
Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Sioux Falls has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow... which is in effect
from noon to 6 PM CST Thursday.

* Timing... precipitation will spread across the area late tonight and
continue much of the day Thursday. The precipitation will likely be
a mix of rain and snow through the morning... changing over to snow
around midday. Snow should taper off Thursday evening.

* Accumulations... snowfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are
expected.

* Wind and visibility... as Thursday progresses... north to northwest
winds will increase to 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph at times.
Despite the wet heavy nature of expected snowfall... these strong
winds will still produce areas of blowing snow through the
afternoon... especially as the snow is falling. Snow and blowing
snow will reduce visibility to a mile or two Thursday afternoon.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow means that
visibilities will be limited due to a combination of falling and
blowing snow. Use caution when traveling... especially in open areas.
