Jim Dale, from British Weather Services, spoke out to the Mirror and said southern England won’t experience snow. But the white stuff could hit parts of Northern Ireland, northern England and Wales, especially on higher ground.
Exacta Weather’s James Madden said: “From today (Wednesday) and particularly into this evening, we will see the first snow and heavy snow showers beginning to form across Scotland and the far north and also on moderate to higher routes to begin with, before becoming more extensive on some lower routes to the north and east of Scotland.
“These will then become further extensive throughout Thursday day and evening and into some large parts of northern and north-east England and Northern Ireland, including lower levels to begin with in this period and continuing into much of Friday in these parts with widespread snow warnings likely to be in place for many, particularly to parts of the north-east and east of England.
“Additionally, from around the early hours of Friday, it will also see the snow becoming more extensive further afield and some large parts of Yorkshire, central England, and Wales will then be at risk of falling and accumulating snow and weather warnings for snow as the wintry conditions spread southwards to other more southern parts of the country and with a now heightening risk for snow in some parts as far south as some large parts of south-west England and far south-west England and also towards the capital for in and around Friday evening and prior to the snow petering out for many during the early hours of Saturday.
“There will also be the growing risk of at least transient snow or better away from parts of Northern Ireland and to other parts of Ireland during this same period, particularly in some parts to the south and east later on Friday.
“We then importantly transfer to later on Saturday evening and into early Sunday, when those expected and unsettled weather conditions on our part are highly likely to coincide with the colder conditions and overnight cold conditions still present across our shores to deliver at the very least widespread and transient snow across large parts of the country including low levels from south-west and southern England and upwards on now present and repeated indicators for this period (potentially very severe from central England and the northern half of the country).
“Also, parts of Ireland could be at risk of some further transient snow in places and earlier than parts of the UK on Saturday…”
