Winter Weather Summary
POSTED: February 11, 2004 8:20 a.m.


Snow and Flurries Across the North and in the Rockies; Snow Tonight in the South

Low pressure will track out of Minnesota, across the Great Lakes in the next 24 hours or so. Along the track of this system snowfall amounts will be generally 1-3 inches, from northern and central Minnesota, across northern Wisconsin, northern Michigan, into southwest Ontario. Wind will cause some blowing snow, as well.

Colder air and upsloping winds will bring snow to the Rockies; it will snow from southern Montana, across much of Wyoming into Colorado today; it will snow later today and tonight in southern Colorado and in the mountains of New Mexico. Amounts will generally be 1-3 inches, but there can be 3-6 inches in the high mountains of Colorado, and in parts of northern New Mexico.

A storm, or area of low pressure, will come out of the western Gulf of Mexico today, and end up over central Alabama by tomorrow morning. Colder air plunging southward through the middle of the country will catch up with the moisture; the result will be snow quite far south. A little snow is possible in west Texas tonight. Late today and tonight, from eastern Oklahoma, into northern and central Arkansas, into northern Tennessee and in Kentucky, it will snow, but probably accumulate little, because of melting. The areas most likely to pick up a few inches of snow is northern Arkansas, into southeast Missouri and western Kentucky. This storm will spread snow as far east as Virginia and the western Carolinas by early tomorrow.
