Stanley, England, United Kingdom Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Rain moving north across England today is expected to increasingly turn to snow over higher ground through the afternoon and evening. The snow will continue overnight and into Friday morning, although the altitude at which snow settles should steadily rise above that of most major trans-Pennine routes during the early hours of Friday.

While some sleet or snow is possible to lower levels for a time this evening, accumulating snow is mostly likely above 250 to 300 m with up to 5 cm possible. Much of this melting during Friday morning after the warning ends. Some places above 500 m may see 5-15 cm.
