Is it going to snow? Weather warnings map shows where snow will fall this week

A cold front is expected to push through overnight

The Met office has forecasted a mixed week in the UK with cold weather including snow and ice expected in the beginning of the week, followed by milder conditions later.

A map shared by the forecaster showed that a cold front is expected to push through overnight on Monday leaving cold air behind.

In a press statement, the Met Office said a number of National Severe Weather Warnings are in place for wind, snow and ice and there is a chance more warnings will be issued as the week progresses.

On Monday night, the Met Office forecasted yellow weather warnings for snow and ice in several areas for Tuesday.

“A widespread frost will develop over the northern half of UK,” it said.

Frost is expected in Glasgow, Belfast, Stornoway, Aberdeen, Lerwick among others.

Rain, sleet and snow is expected to impact travel and create unsafe conditions on slippery roads and pavements.

“An area of low pressure moving eastward has brought a mild, and blustery start to the week for much of England and Wales, with showers and some coastal gales. However, an Arctic maritime air mass will reassert itself from the north later today bringing with it another dose of snow and frosty nights for some,” said Met Office chief forecaster Dan Suri.

The Met office has also said that from Wednesday while frost and ice will begin the day, rain and hill snow will edge eastward from the afternoon.

On Thursday, an “unsettled day” is expected with outbreaks of rain and strong winds and temperatures rising back into double figures in areas away from northern Scotland.

Showers are expected on Friday with the risk of hail and thunder.
