Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, January 28, 2012.

The Northeast will see a short break in wintry weather on Saturday, as another system moves into the Great Lakes. A low pressure system continues moving through the Great Lakes, over the Midwest, and up the Ohio River Valley. This system has little moisture associated with it, thus, snowfall accumulation should be light. Expect 1 to 3 inches of new snow across Michigan and the Lower Great Lakes, while most of the Ohio River Valley will see a messy combination of freezing rain and sleet. The tail end of this frontal boundary will move over the Mississippi River and into the Tennessee Valley. Scattered rain showers will develop in these areas, but significant rainfall and thunderstorms are not likely. Strong and gusty winds will develop in the wake of this system, as a ridge of high pressure builds in from the West. The Plains and Midwest will see gusts from 20 to 30 mph as this system passes.

Out West, a ridge of high pressure continues to build over the West Coast. This will create offshore flow and produce another sunny day with increasing temperatures. In southern California, strong flow will develop from the dry desserts of the Southwestern US. These are favorable conditions for a Santa Ana wind event, which will increase fire danger as winds will range from 25 to 40 mph with gusts to 65 mph.
