An area of snow is likely to move east across central and northern Scotland during Tuesday. Freezing levels may temporarily lift for a time, allowing snow to turn to sleet or rain at lower elevations, before lowering again, with further snow showers likely returning to northern Scotland by the evening. A further 2-5 cm of snow is likely to fall fairly widely, but there is a chance some areas could see a further 10-15 cm, particularly over higher ground above around 200 metres. Accumulations over the Northern Isles are expected to be lower, but ice is expected to remain a hazard on Tuesday morning and again on Tuesday night. Precipitation is likely to fall on to frozen surfaces, particularly during Tuesday morning, bringing the potential for widespread icy conditions to develop. What Should I Do? Snowy, 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). People cope better when they have prepared in advance for the risk of power cuts or being cut off from services and amenities due to the snow. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal to reduce your risk of accidents, slips, and falls. If making 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 quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Heavy snow showers will become more frequent and may merge to give longer spells of snow at times. The areas and period covered by this warning are when the heaviest and most disruptive snow is thought most likely during the current cold spell, with existing yellow warnings covering a wider area and a longer period. Further accumulations of 5-10 cm is likely to fall fairly widely, with a few places seeing 20-30 cm over mainland Scotland. Strong winds at times may cause further drifting of snow and temporary blizzard conditions. What Should I Do?

Snow showers will continue through Sunday, being brought well inland by strong northerly winds. Showers will become increasingly confined to the far north of Scotland by Monday afternoon but an ice risk will remain across many areas into Monday evening before a spell of more organised snow arrives in the west later. The most frequent showers and highest accumulations are expected over the northwest Highlands, Grampian but also Aberdeenshire where 5-10 cm is likely to fall fairly widely with a few places seeing 20-30 cm. Elsewhere, snow accumulations will be smaller, typically no more than 2-5 cm. Strong winds during Sunday may cause further drifting of snow and temporary blizzard conditions. What Should I Do?

An area of mainly light snow will move east across southern Scotland into northern England on Tuesday morning before largely fading and clearing during Tuesday afternoon. A few heavier bursts are possible over the Southern Uplands, the Lake District and the northern Pennines. Most places will see no more than 1-2 cm of snow but a few places over higher ground in the Lake District, northern Pennines and Southern Uplands may see up to 5 cm. This will fall onto frozen surfaces resulting in some icy conditions and could lead to some disruption, particularly to travel over higher routes in the north of the warning area. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger).

Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered snow showers will move inland from the North Sea during Monday, giving some small accumulations in places. Where snow showers are most frequent, this most likely across southeast Scotland, parts of North and East Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland, fresh accumulations of 5-8 cm will be possible in a few places. Lightning and gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially near windward coasts. Snow showers should become more isolated through Monday evening, but a risk of ice will persist through Monday night into Tuesday morning as temperatures fall below freezing. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. 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.

An area of mainly light snow will move east across southern Scotland into northern England on Tuesday morning before largely fading and clearing during Tuesday afternoon. A few heavier bursts are possible over the Southern Uplands, the Lake District and the northern Pennines. Most places will see no more than 1-2 cm of snow but a few places over higher ground in the Lake District, northern Pennines and Southern Uplands may see up to 5 cm. This will fall onto frozen surfaces resulting in some icy conditions and could lead to some disruption, particularly to travel over higher routes in the north of the warning area. What Should I Do?

Snow showers will affect many parts of Northern Ireland over the weekend, before gradually easing on Monday. The heaviest and most frequent snow showers will be in the north, although along the north coast these may fall as rain or sleet at times. Whilst not all locations in the warning areas will see snow, around 1-3 cm is expected to have fallen in many places by Monday morning, with the potential for 5-10 cm to build up in a few locations, especially over higher routes such as the Glenshane Pass. Ice will be an additional hazard for many. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous.

Following today's rain, sleet and snow showers, surface temperatures are expected to steadily fall below freezing in places under clearing skies. Where surfaces have been wet and left untreated, or where subsequent showers wash off surface treatment (this more likely in the north of the country), there is a risk of icy stretches which could lead to some impacts.

Scattered sleet and snow showers will continue to feed southwards through Monday afternoon and evening, particularly near western coasts but occasionally spreading farther inland. Whilst not all areas will be affected, some small snow accumulations will be possible, with the greatest chance across parts of Pembrokeshire, Camarthenshire and Ceredigion where 5-10 cm could accumulate, especially in the vicinity of the Preseli Mountains. Hail is also possible in some showers, which may may lead to locally slippery conditions.

A band of snow showers will move south during Sunday evening and into the early hours of Monday, giving a covering of 1-3 cm of snow in places and leading to ice on untreated surfaces. Further snow showers are likely across eastern England during Monday morning. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger). Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered snow showers will move inland from the North Sea during Monday, giving some small accumulations in places. Where snow showers are most frequent, this most likely across southeast Scotland, parts of North and East Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland, fresh accumulations of 5-8 cm will be possible in a few places. Lightning and gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially near windward coasts. Snow showers should become more isolated through Monday evening, but a risk of ice will persist through Monday night into Tuesday morning as temperatures fall below freezing. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary. 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. If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger).

Snow showers are expected to push further inland across Wales, parts of northwest England, the West Midlands and southwest England during Sunday afternoon and evening. Along windward coasts, some rain and sleet is likely, but inland showers will fall as snow. Whilst not all locations in the warning area will see snow, 1-3 cm could develop in many places by Monday morning, with the potential for 5-8 cm to build up in a few locations, particularly across inland and higher parts of Wales. Icy stretches are likely to form widely. What Should I Do? Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous.

Scattered sleet and snow showers will continue to feed southwards through Monday afternoon and evening, particularly near western coasts but occasionally spreading farther inland. Whilst not all areas will be affected, some small snow accumulations will be possible, with the greatest chance across parts of Pembrokeshire, Camarthenshire and Ceredigion where 5-10 cm could accumulate, especially in the vicinity of the Preseli Mountains. Hail is also possible in some showers, which may may lead to locally slippery conditions. Showers will ease through Monday night, but ice will be a more widespread hazard overnight and into Tuesday morning as temperatures fall below freezing. What Should I Do?
