Weather: Weekend Snow Warnings Across UK

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 21 Maret 2013 | 22.11

Large swathes of the UK are facing a white weekend, as more wintry weather looks set to cause widespread disruption.

Snow is expected overnight in Northern Ireland, Wales, the Midlands, northern England and southern and western Scotland.

Commuters are being warned of Friday morning rush-hour chaos as strong gusts combine with the anticipated deluge to cause blizzard-like conditions.

And dozens of flood alerts have been issued by the Environment Agency for south-east England, while the Met Office put out several severe weather warnings for the weekend.

Sky News Weather Presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "The rain across south-west England, southern Wales and the south of the Republic of Ireland will continue moving north-eastwards into tonight.

"As it does, it hits the cold air coming in from the east and so it will turn to snow, giving significant accumulations by the early hours of the morning.

"The areas most affected will be across Northern Ireland, central and northern parts of Wales, the Midlands, northern England and southern and western Scotland."

Ghaffar added that outbreaks of rain across south-western parts of the UK and Ireland brought the risk of flooding.

"Disruptions are likely during Friday morning's rush hour as the snow will continue to fall with strong to near gale force winds, causing blizzard conditions and drifting," she said.

"In fact, throughout the day on Friday outbreaks of sleet and snow will continue with windy conditions, although outbreaks of light and patchy rain are more likely for southern England and southern Wales.

"Additional accumulations are likely across the north Midlands, Lincolnshire, northern England and Scotland.

"It'll be windy and cold over the weekend with further outbreaks of snow, especially across northern England, Wales and the Midlands."
