Out West, a trough of low pressure moved over the Pacific Northwest and pulled more moisture in from the Pacific Ocean. Temperatures remained above freezing even at high elevations, thus, mainly rain showers fell across western Oregon and Washington.
Weather Underground midday recap for Saturday, November 03, 2012.
A combination of rain and snow showers persisted in the North, while scattered showers and thunderstorms developed in the South on Saturday. A trough of low pressure that extended from the Northern Plains through the Southern Plains created a frontal boundary that extended eastward throughout the day. This front developed over the Southern Plains and pulled some moisture in from the Gulf of Mexico, which triggered scattered showers and thunderstorms across eastern Texas and into the Eastern Valleys. Severe storms have not developed and mid-day rainfall totals have remained less than an inch. Strong winds accompanied this front with gusts from 30 to 40 mph reported across parts of eastern Texas. Houston, Texas reported 36 mph wind gusts. At the same time, cool air continued to pour into the Northern Plains from Canada. A cold front moved through the region and into the Upper Midwest and triggered overnight and early morning snow showers that turned to rain showers during the day. Cooperstown, North Dakota saw a mid-day total of 1.55 inches of precipitation. This sloppy combination of snow, freezing rain, and rain created dangerous road and travel conditions from North Dakota through central Wisconsin.
