Weather: Snow Threatens To Disrupt Travel - Sky News

Sky News Weather Forecast

Updated: 7:11am UK, Friday 08 February 2013

Patchy light rain or drizzle across northeast England, the Midlands, Wales and southwest England on Friday morning, turning to snow initially across the hills and mountains in the north.

This rain band will slowly move southeastwards across the rest of England and therefore turning drier and brighter in the west.

Ahead of the rain it will be sunny over most of East Anglia and southeast England. Across Ireland and western parts of Scotland it will be a cloudy morning.

Ireland will start off with patchy rain, especially in the north and this rain will move eastwards into western Britain by this evening. Ahead of the rain it will become cloudier after beginning bright across much of Scotland and north-west England.

Overnight scattered wintry showers are likely for a time over East Anglia and southeast England, perhaps giving a thin covering of snow.

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain over Ireland, Wales, western England and western Scotland. The rain will be very light and patchy in the south but more extensive in the north with sleet and snow over the hills and mountains of northern England and Scotland.

Saturday will be a mainly cloudy day with patchy light rain or drizzle, mostly across eastern England. Some light snow is possible over East Anglia for a while, but only slight accumulations. A cold day in the far east, but milder across the west.

Rain across many southern and western parts of the UK and Ireland on Sunday, but cold air from the east will lead to the increasingly risk of snow. There is the potential for some significant snowfall on Sunday afternoon and into Sunday night, particularly across north England and Scotland but also Wales.
