Weather Outlook for Friday

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:30:00 EST
A strong storm over the Southern Plains will track eastward to the Tennessee Valley by Saturday evening. The system will pull moisture out of the Gulf of Mexico, producing showers and thunderstorms over parts of the Central/Southern Plains moving to the Tennessee Valley/central Gulf Coast by Saturday. On the northwest side of the storm, temperatures will be cold enough for a region of moderate snow to develop over portions of the central High Plains/Rockies that will move onto the Central Plains before tapering off over parts of the Lower Missouri Valley by Saturday evening. High pressure over the central Appalachians will move off the Mid-Atlantic coast by Saturday. High pressure off the coast of California will also aid in producing strong winds over parts of southern California on Friday. Latest local weather forecasts, warnings, watches, and advisories...
