Region: Northern Ireland

Warning

Sleet and snow showers will push across Northern Ireland from the north during Thursday evening and overnight into Friday. These will leave surfaces wet with icy stretches readily forming. Some snow is expected to accumulate with some places seeing 1-2 cm of snow even to low levels though many sites will see little lying snow. Above 200 m a few sites could see 5 cm or so though ice remains the main hazard.

Region: Northern Ireland

Warning

A band of rain, sleet and snow is likely to push southeast across Northern Ireland on Wednesday night before clearing during Thursday. Away from some northern and eastern coasts, this will fall mainly as snow with accumulations of 1-2 cm possible. 2-5 cm of snow is possible on hills above about 150 m. Accumulating snow may well affect the Glenshane Pass. Snow should ease, whilst probably turning back to rain, early Thursday. Regardless of snow accumulation, after several cold days, ice is likely to be relatively widespread on untreated surfaces.

Region: Wales

Warning

Showers, a mixture of rain sleet and snow, are expected to fall onto frozen surfaces leading to icy stretches forming. In addition, a more persistent spell of rain and hill snow is likely to move south across northern England and north Wales during Thursday evening and night. This then gradually moving into parts of central and southwest England and southeast Wales on Friday. Whilst ice is expected to be the most widespread hazard, snow is likely in places too. Snow is most likely to fall over The Pennines, North York Moors and the high ground of Wales and southwest England, with 2-5 cm possible here. Elsewhere, whilst some snowfall is possible, accumulations are likely to be slight and temporary. Freezing fog patches are also likely to persist and may prove an additional hazard with areas of visibility less than 100 m at times.

Chief Forecaster

Icy stretches are likely to form perhaps leading to some disruption to travel with snow falling for some places.

Warning

Showers, a mixture of rain sleet and snow, are expected to fall onto frozen surfaces leading to icy stretches forming. In addition, a more persistent spell of rain and hill snow is likely to move south across northern England and north Wales during Thursday evening and night. This then gradually moving into parts of central and southwest England and southeast Wales on Friday. Whilst ice is expected to be the most widespread hazard, snow is likely in places too. Snow is most likely to fall over The Pennines, North York Moors and the high ground of Wales and southwest England, with 2-5 cm possible here. Elsewhere, whilst some snowfall is possible, accumulations are likely to be slight and temporary. Freezing fog patches are also likely to persist and may prove an additional hazard with areas of visibility less than 100 m at times.

Chief Forecaster

Icy stretches are likely to form perhaps leading to some disruption to travel with snow falling for some places.
