Manchester is anticipated to experience flurries by midday, with conditions doing across to the West Midlands and parts of the West Country.
By 9pm, snowfall is predicted to intensify across the north west, falling heaviest over Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent.
By midnight on Saturday, the blizzard is headed towards parts of London, though it will be most severe across the west and east Midlands.
The BBC forecast for March 2 to 15 states: “Although confidence is even lower than usual for this period, there are some signs of high pressure building near the UK, leading to somewhat drier conditions, with precipitation amounts near or below average.
“However, the position of this potential high will have a notable influence on both precipitation and wind. It will most likely linger near the UK through the first week of March, bringing relatively dry conditions, along with a risk of frost and fog.
“Daytime temperatures should be at least near seasonal for most areas, and potentially above average, although some chillier conditions are possible across Scotland.
“There is a small chance that high pressure could develop at higher latitudes, which would bring a risk of a colder week, though strong cold anomalies would not be expected. Wintry showers would then become more likely.”
The Met Office adds: “Winds will probably be strong at times, with a risk of gales. Temperatures are likely to be near to or slightly above average.”
