Yellow warning of snow affecting North West England
Written by John Williamson on 06/03/2023
Snow could develop quite widely across the warning area on Thursday and Friday as a potentially quite deep area of low pressure moves across the UK.
Parts of northern England are currently expected to see the worst of the conditions on Thursday, with parts of Scotland and northern England then seeing the heaviest snow on Friday.
Event totals could bring 5 to 10 cm of snow to many locations, even at low elevations, with potentially 15 to 20 cm accumulating across the northern portion of the warning area.
Higher elevations of the North Pennines may see as much as 30 to 40 cm of snow in places.
In addition, there is potential for strong winds, which may lead to blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow.
