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.

... Arctic air to settle into the panhandles this weekend with some
wintry precipitation expected as well...

An Arctic cold front will back southwest across the panhandles
tonight. This cold airmass will remain entrenched across the area
through the weekend... keeping high temperatures in the 20s to lower
30s on Saturday and in the upper 20s to upper 30s on Sunday. Low
temperatures will fall into the upper single digits and teens both
Saturday morning and Sunday morning... with wind chill readings
dropping to near or below zero.

Some flurries or very light snow will be possible at times late
tonight through Saturday night. Accumulations... if any... will be
very light and remain under one half inch. Some freezing fog will
also be possible tonight into Saturday morning and perhaps again
Saturday night into Sunday morning as an upslope flow persists
across the area.

Snow chances will increase on Sunday... mainly across the eastern
half to two thirds of the panhandles... as an upper level trough of
low pressure works in from the west. Chances for light snow will
then linger across the southeast half of the panhandles Sunday
night... and some freezing drizzle may also develop in the southeast
Texas Panhandle Sunday night. The heavier snowfall accumulations
Sunday and Sunday night are expected to be across the southeast Texas
Panhandle... where 1 to 3 inches will be possible. Accumulations up
to an inch are expected elsewhere. Any ice accumulations from the
light freezing drizzle across the southeast Sunday night are expected
to be minimal... but some slick spots could result on roadways. All
precipitation will move east of the panhandles by Monday morning.
There is a small possibility that some sleet or freezing rain could
mix with the snow on Sunday... primarily across the eastern
panhandles... if mid levels of the atmosphere warm more than currently
forecast. However... this appears unlikely at this time.

Stay tuned to any updates to the forecast over the next couple of
days by visiting our website at www.Srh.NOAA.Gov/Ama... following NWS
Amarillo on facebook... listening to NOAA Weather Radio... or through
your preferred media outlet.
