A band of snow will move across the warning area during Sunday. Across northern England snow will mostly be confined to ground above 200 metres elevation, but across Scotland this could fall to low levels during the morning, before becoming increasingly confined to higher ground through the afternoon. Whilst not all areas will see accumulating snow at low levels, 2 to 5 cm is likely in places, perhaps temporarily 10 cm before snow turns back to rain. Above 200 metres elevation 10 to 20 cm is possible, perhaps locally up to 30 cm on hills exposed to the strong southerly winds, and over the highest parts of Scotland. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow. Amounts of snow will depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, and as the band pushes east through the afternoon, it will begin to transition to an awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow. Therefore there is likely to be a lot of variation, even over relatively short distances. In addition, there is a risk of freezing rain across the east of the area for a few hours after dawn on Sunday morning, perhaps leading to widespread ice that would affect all surfaces. Ice from freezing rain, also know as black ice or glaze, is difficult to see and difficult to clear. What Should I Do? Snowy, icy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. If you need to drive, follow these few simple steps to prepare before journeys: plan your route, checking for delays and road closures; look well ahead for potential hazards and keep you speed down; accelerate, brake, steer and change gear as smoothly as possible to reduce the risk of skidding; leave more time to prepare and check your car e.g., wipers, tyres and screen wash; make sure you have essentials in your car (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, and an in-car charger). 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. 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. 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.

A spell of snow and ice will lead to some disruption on Sunday.

Region: Highland & Eilean Siar

A band of snow will move across the warning area during Sunday morning and early afternoon. Snow is expected to fall to low levels across the warning area during the morning before becoming increasingly confined to higher ground in the afternoon. 2 to 5 cm is likely to low levels, with 10-15 cm above 150 metres elevation and locally 20-30 cm above 300 metres elevation. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow and blizzard conditions, with deep drifts possible. During the afternoon, snow is likely to turn to sleet and then rain before it clears which will help to melt some of the snow at lower elevations, increasing the risk of flooding. What Should I Do? It is safer not to drive in these conditions, but if you need to make an essential journey, consider alternative forms of transport, to keep you and others safe. If you must drive, do this more safely by: using dipped headlights; accelerating gently, using low revs and changing to higher gears as quickly as possible; starting in second gear to help with wheel slip; maintaining a safe and steady speed, keeping distance from other vehicles; using a low gear to go downhill, avoiding braking unless necessary; steering into skids, not taking your hands of the wheel, and avoiding slamming on brakes. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If isolated due to snow, follow these simple steps to keep safe and well: keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night; turn off electrical heaters and put out your fire before going to bed; ensure pets are safe by keeping them warm and comfortable; prevent frozen pipes by opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing; stay indoors, wrap up warm and close internal doors to keep the heat in; and, if you need support call the British Red Cross Support Line on 0808 196 3651. Help to protect vulnerable people that you know including older people, those with underlying conditions and those who live alone; they may need support with food and medical supplies. If you are worried about your health or that of somebody you know, ring NHS 111 (or consult NI:DIRECT if in Northern Ireland). Stay up to date with the weather forecast for your area and follow advice from emergency services and local authorities

Heavy and persistent snowfall will lead to further snow accumulations and disruption during Sunday.

Region: Strathclyde

Bands of heavy rain will affect southwest Scotland during Sunday. Some of this will fall as snow initially over higher ground before turning back to rain at all altitudes as milder air works in through the day. 30-50 mm of rain could fall quite widely across the warning area, but there is potential for 70-90 mm to build up over the higher ground of Dumfries and Galloway. Melting of lying snow may contribute to flooding in some places too. What Should I Do? Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. 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.

Rain will spread from the west across Northern Ireland during Saturday evening. A drier interlude is likely for a time on Sunday morning, before further heavy rain moves through later on Sunday. 20-30 mm could accumulate quite widely during this period, with totals of 40-60 mm possible over higher ground. Additionally, it will turn much milder, leading to the melting of lying snow and thus increasing the potential for some flooding impacts in places. What Should I Do?

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. 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.

A spell of snow and ice will lead to some disruption on Sunday.

Region: North East England

A band of snow will move across the warning area during Sunday. Across northern England snow will mostly be confined to ground above 200 metres elevation, but across Scotland this could fall to low levels during the morning, before becoming increasingly confined to higher ground through the afternoon. Whilst not all areas will see accumulating snow at low levels, 2 to 5 cm is likely in places, perhaps temporarily 10 cm before snow turns back to rain. Above 200 metres elevation 10 to 20 cm is possible, perhaps locally up to 30 cm on hills exposed to the strong southerly winds, and over the highest parts of Scotland. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow. Amounts of snow will depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, and as the band pushes east through the afternoon, it will begin to transition to an awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow. Therefore there is likely to be a lot of variation, even over relatively short distances. In addition, there is a risk of freezing rain across the east of the area for a few hours after dawn on Sunday morning, perhaps leading to widespread ice that would affect all surfaces. Ice from freezing rain, also know as black ice or glaze, is difficult to see and difficult to clear. What Should I Do? Snowy, icy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. If you need to drive, follow these few simple steps to prepare before journeys: plan your route, checking for delays and road closures; look well ahead for potential hazards and keep you speed down; accelerate, brake, steer and change gear as smoothly as possible to reduce the risk of skidding; leave more time to prepare and check your car e.g., wipers, tyres and screen wash; make sure you have essentials in your car (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, and an in-car charger). 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.
