Latest forecast
Where will see snow on Thursday?

More snow is making its way up to central and northern England, and Wales this evening, but what about tomorrow?

Snow will continue to push northwards through this evening, gradually clearing eastwards later tonight. This is expected to deliver several centimetres of snow in places, but particularly to central and western areas.

Another spell of rain, sleet and snow will make its way to Ireland through the early hours, reaching southern England tomorrow morning as patchy rain, but Ireland as snow.

Expected snow accumulations from Wednesday 8th to end of day Thursday 9th March.Expected snow accumulations from Wednesday 8th to end of day Thursday 9th March, greatest over the hills.

As this system continues to push northwards, rain will turn to sleet and snow with northward extent, reaching as far north as the southern fringes of Scotland at times.

Snow looks to turn heaviest across North Wales, north-west England and in the West Midlands, with a Met Office amber snow warning now in place across the Pennines with a risk of blizzard conditions and drifting.

Over the Welsh hills there is a risk of freezing rain, as depicted by the salmon colour on the WeatherRadar. As snow pushes northwards, milder air and rain will follow in behind.

What causes freezing rain?

Precipitation needs to pass through a layer of air above freezing, melting into a liquid, then falling back through a thin layer of sub-zero air nearer to the ground, allowing it to become supercooled. It then freezes upon contact.

Southern England will mostly see rain with temperatures climbing, while northern areas remain dry and cold. The best of the sunshine across northern Scotland. By Thursday evening however, the snow risk may return to southern areas.

Minor shifts in these frontal bands are still possible however, with a tiny movement altering whether you see rain or snow.

This is because mild weather is sat to the south, with cold air to the north. The boundary where these two air masses meet (and northwards) will determine where snow falls.
