Wales braces for snow this weekend as the Met Office warns of potential disruptions from Saturday to Monday
Wales: The Met Office has put out a yellow weather warning for snow this weekend. They’re saying snow will start affecting the area from Saturday afternoon and could last until Monday morning.
The warning kicks off at noon on Saturday and goes until 9 AM on Monday. They’re predicting heavy snow, with some places getting around 5 cm, and higher areas could see 20-30 cm. That’s a lot of snow!
Most of Wales is included in this warning, except for Anglesey. It also covers parts of northern England, the Midlands, and some southern areas. But it looks like Wales might be hit the hardest.
They’ve mentioned that rain will start moving northeast later on Saturday, but before that, we might see some snow. There’s a bit of uncertainty about how far north the snow will go and how long it will stick around, but they’re keeping an eye on it.
Right now, the Midlands, Wales, and northern England are the most likely to face disruptions. They’re saying 5 cm or more could pile up, especially in the hills. Plus, with stronger winds, we might see some drifting snow.
As warmer air tries to push north, there’s a chance the snow could turn into freezing rain, which could make things icy. If the warmer air moves in more, the snow in southern areas might not last long before it turns to rain. They’ll keep updating the warning as they get more info on what to expect.
