Yellow warning snow and ice for Tuesday

A band of rain will arrive across Wales, northern and western England through the middle of Tuesday 29 January, then move eastwards through Tuesday afternoon and evening.

The rain will turn quickly to snow on hills, then also to low levels in places. 3 to 5 cm snow is likely above 200metres, with up to 10cm in a few places.

A patchy covering of 1 to 2cm is possible at low levels, although some places will see no snow at all.

As skies clear overnight, ice is likely to form on some surfaces.

In addition, wintry showers will follow into western areas on Wednesday morning, giving further slight accumulations of snow in a few places.
