By 3am, this weather system is expected to shift eastwards swiftly, bringing additional snowfall to London and Essex. East Anglia and the south-east are forecasted to experience heavy rain showers around this time.
Snow coverage charts at 9am show snow in a substantial part of the Midlands, including areas of Birmingham, and blanketing most of southern England.
Wales appears set for a complete snow cover, as do central and northern regions of Scotland. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh can anticipate some snow flurries,
BBC Weather’s outlook for the coming week also teases the potential for more snowfall. However, it suggests that the snow won’t be widespread.
The outlook indicates: “The rest of the week should remain unsettled with temperatures near or above the January average, so laying snow should quickly thaw. There are hints of a potent low pressure system approaching late in the week, so some heavy rain and strong winds look possible, with snow most likely just over higher ground in northern Scotland.”
