Parts of UK could experience snow as Met Office warns with yellow weather alerts.

As Sunday approaches, we may experience some disruptions in our travel plans due to an expected snowfall. The chilly weather is expected to bring a mix of ice and snow to areas of Scotland and northern England. In light of this, the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings, warning us about the potential for travel delays, accidents, and power outages.

It seems that the mild autumn weather we've been enjoying is about to come to an end, making way for colder temperatures and a more wintery feel. According to Aidan McGivern, a meteorologist from the Met Office, we can expect a drop in temperature as winds from the north-northwest arrive. These winds will also bring frequent showers, which are likely to fall as sleet and snow over the northern regions of Scotland, particularly in Shetland. In fact, some areas may even see some accumulation of wet snow above a couple of hundred meters.

Meanwhile, in southern parts, the weather will remain relatively mild, although it will be cloudy with some outbreaks of rain. As we eagerly wait to see when the snow will start to fall, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning that will be in effect from 4 pm on Sunday until 11 am on Monday. This warning mainly covers the Highlands, Na h-Eileanan Siar, Orkney, and Shetland regions of Scotland.

The Met Office has also provided a list of areas that will be affected by their weather warnings on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Those planning to travel by road or rail should be prepared for longer journeys, as slippery surfaces and ice patches are expected. These conditions could also increase the risk of slips and falls.

According to the Met Office, Sunday will see a gradual transformation of the showers into wintry mixtures of hail, sleet, and snow. While it's unlikely that the snow will stick at lower levels during the day, there may be some accumulation of 1 to 3 cm in certain areas later in the evening and overnight. In higher regions above 300 meters, this accumulation could reach 5 to 10 cm by Monday morning.

A second yellow warning has been issued for Monday to Tuesday, as there is a small chance of disruptions from snowfall as far south as Sheffield and Yorkshire. The Met Office predicts spells of rain, sleet, and snow throughout Monday and into Tuesday morning. While most of the snow is expected to fall in higher regions, there is a possibility of 5 to 10 cm of snow accumulating at lower levels, which could cause significant disruptions. However, the uncertainty of this forecast must also be considered.
