Showers will continue to feed inland through Thursday evening, overnight and into Friday morning. As temperatures fall overnight ice will form on untreated surfaces, while snow may begin to settle mainly above 200-300 metres, leading to further accumulations of 1-2 cm, perhaps up to 5cm in places. What Should I Do? Wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous, so to keep yourself and others safe: plan your route, checking for delays and road closures, amending your travel plans if necessary; if driving, leave more time to prepare and check your car before setting off; make sure you have essentials packed in your car in the event of any delays (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de-icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot or by bike, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Showers continuing through the night will bring icy conditions, and snow over higher ground.

Wintry showers will continue to feed inland from the North Sea through Thursday night before tending to ease away on Friday morning. At low levels the showers will mainly fall as rain, sleet or small hail, while above 250 m some will fall as snow with further small accumulations of 1 to 3 cm possible. As temperatures will be widely below freezing showers at lower levels will lead to icy patches developing in many locations. What Should I Do? Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Wintry showers will lead to icy patches and some disruption on Friday morning.
