Snowy Start to Saturday

A weather front moving eastwards across the UK tomorrow is expected to bring rain and snow to eastern parts of the UK.

Yellow National Severe Weather Warnings for snow have been issued covering the areas most likely to be affected by snow from Scotland to parts of the south east of England and East Anglia.

Steven Ramsdale is a Chief Meteorologist. He said:

“A milder air mass will move eastwards across the UK early tomorrow. But when this warmer, more moist air encounters the cold air situated over eastern parts of the UK snow is likely to fall. Whilst the high ground in the north is likely to see the largest accumulations some snow is likely to fall to low levels at times. In fact, parts of east England and East Anglia look most at risk of seeing 1-3 cm with 5-10 cm possible in places.

“The milder air will eventually win out with the initial snow gradually turning to rain. This may also bring some flooding issues following recent wet weather and with snow then melting – though the snow looks to be the greater hazard.”
