All the parts of England facing snow before end of week with six counties hit
All the parts of England set for snow before the end of the week have been revealed. Maps from WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data, shows a downturn in conditions is likely – with flurries of the white stuff sweeping the north.
Northern England looks at risk on four separate dates before the coming weekend, according to the GFS advanced modelling system. Maps and charts show a dusting of the white stuff could hit Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Amid the prospect of 0C conditions, it is feared North Yorkshire, Cumbria, Durham and Northumberland could also receive a covering of the flurries.

The worst of the weather is likely around Sunday, October 26, and Monday, October 27 – after flurries on Monday, October 20, and Tuesday, October 21, too.
Looking at Friday onwards, the Met Office forecast states: “Remaining unsettled to start the period as an area of low pressure clears into the North Sea.
“Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, and strong winds will likely ease through Friday as the low continues to move eastwards.”
The forecast from the forecasting agency, which comes into effect on October 24, adds: “This will leave a colder northerly flow for a time at the weekend which will be showery around the coasts but with sunny spells inland.”
The outlook goes on to state: “Into the following week, conditions are expected to be changeable with showers or longer spells of rain across many parts of the UK.”
It adds: “The cold northerly will likely give way to a more changeable westerly pattern and the wettest weather will probably be in parts of the north and west.
“Temperatures are expected to be close to or slightly below normal for the time of year.”
A mid-to-late November outlook adds: “Changeable and unsettled with weather systems spreading from the west.
“These will bring spells of rain, heavy at times, and some strong winds, interspersed with drier, brighter, and less windy periods between systems.
“The heaviest rain will probably be across northern areas at first, migrating to western areas later. Temperatures are expected to be close to normal or perhaps slightly above.”
