Met Office: Snow showers to continue through to Thursday in the north-east

With bands of heavy snow affecting the area this morning and more expected through the course of the day, the latest update from the Met Office comments that spells of snow are expected to develop Wednesday late afternoon and early evening, mainly in areas above 100 to 200 m across large parts of the north-east.

Later on Wednesday evening and during Thursday early hours this snow will then turn to rain as milder weather conditions spread across the British Isles.

Meanwhile, below 100 to 200 m, snow may fall briefly during the late afternoon and early evening before turning to rain.

Snow accumulations will be mainly in areas above 200 to 300 m with several centimetres of snow falling in some places, especially in Scotland, and above 400 m more than 10cm of snow is possible in places.
