The Met Office recently issued a yellow weather warning for snow in several areas including Bath, Gloucester, Worcester, and Hereford. This warning comes as temperatures are expected to drop significantly this morning. The warning, which was released at 6am, will remain in effect until 10am today. According to forecasters, this brief spell of snow could potentially lead to challenging driving conditions in the affected regions. Additionally, there is a risk of ice as temperatures are predicted to stay around 2C.
The Met Office stated, "A brief spell of snow could cause tricky driving conditions in certain areas. Some rain is expected to turn into snow during the morning." They also mentioned that not all areas will experience snow, and in some places, it may not accumulate on the roads. However, there is a possibility of 1 to 3 cm of snow in a few spots.
As the morning progresses, any snow is expected to turn into rain or disappear altogether. The already fallen snow will thaw rapidly. The warning will remain in effect until 10am today, causing concerns that the melting snow and ice could lead to flooding. Currently, there are 150 flood alerts and warnings across the country, with most of them in the South West of England. Particular areas of concern include Wylye Valley at Warminster, Wiltshire, Curry Moor and Hay Moor in Somerset, and the Hooke in rural Dorset.
The Met Office also mentioned that it will be a cold start with some frost, and the weather will remain unsettled with frequent showers, sometimes accompanied by snow in the morning. In addition to the challenging driving conditions, ice will also be a hazard to be mindful of. However, there will be some brighter moments in between the showers, although the north of Scotland can expect cloudy skies and rain. It will also be quite windy around the coasts.
Tonight, the northern parts of England will experience frequent showers, and these will move into Scotland. Other regions can look forward to clear skies, which could lead to frost and fog developing. It is essential to stay updated on the weather conditions and take necessary precautions to stay safe during this period of inclement weather.
