Snow And Gales Threaten Chaos Across UK

The next 48 hours could see treacherous driving conditions for most of the UK and Ireland with the risk of ice and snow and then severe gales.

Through Tuesday night and into Wednesday, it'll be cold with showers falling as hail, sleet and snow quite widely, settling across the hills and mountains of the north, but also accumulating at lower levels here.

So by Wednesday morning, untreated roads of Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic, northern England and the north of Wales could see ice and snow, which could cause disruption to travel.

Around four inches (10cm) or more is likely to accumulate on the highest ground.

Further south, the snow is likely to be mostly over the high ground, but a slight covering is possible at lower levels, especially across the moors of south-west England close to the Bristol Channel and through the Thames Valley area.

Icy stretches will also be a widespread problem.

The wintry showers will tend to ease through Wednesday morning, leaving most places dry and sunny for a while, before it turns increasingly wet and very windy from the west.

A deepening area of low pressure will spread heavy rain eastwards across most parts through the day, with snow across Scotland.

The rain will clear through quite quickly, but the main concern will be the strengthening winds.

During the second half of Wednesday and overnight into Thursday, gusts in excess of 70mph are likely in the north, especially across Northern Ireland and Scotland.

To the south of the system, gales or severe gales are expected, with gusts quite widely up to 65mph.

The strong and gusty winds are likely to cause disruption to travel on Thursday morning, with potential damage to power lines and structural damage.

Very large waves could also cause dangerous conditions around coastal areas.

But this low pressure system looks likely to clear eventually to the North East through Thursday night - which should bring a welcome easing of the high winds.
