Stornoway, Scotland, United Kingdom Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards on Saturday night will fall as snow initially, even to low levels for a time, before becoming confined to higher ground as milder air arrives from the west. Temporary snow accumulations of 1-3 cm will be possible at low levels, with 3-7 cm possible above about 150 m elevation, and perhaps 10-15 cm above 400 m. Areas sheltered to the north of high ground may see very little snow. Ice will be an additional hazard, particularly across northeast England and parts of Scotland where precipitation has the potential to fall on frozen ground leading to very slippery conditions.

Snow will turn increasingly to rain into Sunday morning, perhaps as a short spell of freezing rain in places, before eventually clearing to the east with a steady thaw of lying snow then setting in.

Showers of snow and hail on Friday afternoon, evening and overnight may lead to accumulations of 1 to 3 cm in places, though some areas will miss these. Sleet is more likely along some coasts, leading to ice on untreated surfaces as temperatures fall below freezing overnight.

Wintry showers will mostly die out by Saturday morning.
