Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Wednesday, February 22, 2012.

Cool and unsettled weather will continue across the Northwest and northern Rockies Wednesday, while another round of snow showers is forecast for the Great Lakes.

Out West, a jet stream that has been stationary over the British Columbia will gradually move south, sending a series of systems through the Western U.S. This will result in continued wet weather from the Pacific Northwest eastward through the Rockies and then into the Central Plains by Thursday morning. Light to moderate rain with mountain snow will persist over portions of the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies. Moreover, snow and lower elevation rain will develop over parts of the central Rockies Thursday morning. This plume of moisture will translate into the Plains, aiding in producing precipitation across the Central U.S. Thursday.

Moving to the East, another frontal system will move eastward through eastern Canada Wednesday, producing another round of scattered snow showers over the Great Lakes region.

Elsewhere, light rain is possible over parts of the Appalachians and showers and thunderstorms are expected over parts of the Southeast.

From the central and southern Great Plains to the Mid-Atlantic, temperatures are expected to be 15 to 20 degrees above average Wednesday and Thursday before the next trough of low pressure arrives Friday.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 9:01 am MST on February 22, 2012

The following are preliminary 24 hour precipitation reports from
western Colorado and eastern Utah, ending around 9 am Wednesday. The
first value is rainfall or water amounts in snow, and the second
value is snowfall, when appropriate. Amounts are in inches.

Unofficial stations,

Gothic, 0.06, 1.0.
1 mile southeast of Steamboat Springs, 0.91, 11.9.
1 mile northwest of Clark, 0.55, 6.0.
1 mile northwest of Vail, 0.12, 2.6.
Steamboat ski, 12.0.
Vail ski, 11.0.


In summary, the northern portion of the forecast area has been under
the influence of a strong, moist northwest flow since Tuesday
morning. This along with favorable orographic lift has produced 12
to 18 inches of snowfall in the northern Colorado mountains,
including the elkheads, Park Range, Gore Range, and Flattops. The
Steamboat Springs area has also received similar amounts over that
duration. More snow is expected through Thursday morning, bringing
storm totals of 20 to 30 inches expected.
