Today

As an upperlevel trough slides east today, a surface based area of higher pressure will transition eastward behind it, allowing warm air advection to bring pleasantly warm temperatures to the Lone Star State today. This movement will also bring cooler and cold temperatures to the southeast today and tonight where temperatures at or below freezing may extend down the Florida peninsula to Ocala and beyond. Snows in the northern Rockies mentioned yesterday are also beginning to pull together. Respectable warm advection snowfalls in Idaho may reach as high as seven to eight inches, while upslope snows in Montana and Wyoming may reach may reach a foot or more in areas such as Yellowstone National Park and the Whitefish Mountains. Lake effect snow will continue to chug along for a bit east of Lakes Erie and Ontario. Snowfall totals in those areas will vary from 4″ on the fringes of snowbands as they slowly oscillate slightly to the north, to as high as 9″ or more in the heaviest areas.
