Weather Underground midday recap for Sunday,January 12,2014
A cold frontal boundary stretched across the Intermountain West and over
the upper Midwest on Sunday, while a ridge of high pressure moved over
the Southeast.
An active weather system continued to impact the Pacific Northwest on
Sunday but began to inch across the central portion of the country.
Light to moderate rain pushed over western Washington and northwestern
Oregon, as Tillamook, Ore., reported a midday total of 0.62 inches of
rain, while Kelso-Longview, Wash., reported a midday total of 0.55
inches of rain. Winter storm warnings, avalanche warnings and high wind
warnings were issued across the northern Rockies as heavy snowy moved
across the area. Lemhi, Idaho, reported two separate avalanches during
Sunday morning. Luckily, neither incident led to injuries. The first
avalanche was reported to be 900 feet in length and 6 to 8 feet deep,
while the second avalanche was roughly 100 feet in length and 6 to 8
feet deep. The Southwest stayed clear of wet weather due to a ridge of
high pressure over the eastern Pacific.
Similar conditions swept across the southern Plains and Gulf Coast due
to high pressure across the region. The exception to this was in
southern Texas, where an onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico led to
light showers across the area. Harlingen, Texas, recorded a midday high
of 80 degrees on Sunday.
Scattered snow showers lingered in parts of the New York and New
England, while temperatures ranged between the 30s and 40s across the
