The arrival of the wintery weather is set to see around 1cm to 2cm of snow fall in the majority of areas.
However some areas could see up to 5cm of snow fall, particularly those in the North West of England and North Wales.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “An area of sleet and snow is expected to move southeastwards across parts of England and Wales, lasting approximately two or three hours in any one place.
“Where snow falls, 1 or 2 cm is likely for some and perhaps as much as 5cm snow possible in a few spots, especially higher ground of north Wales and northwest England.
