Weather maps and charts have pinpointed the exact locations expected to be hit by a 500-mile snow blast from tomorrow. The UK is set for a downturn in weather this week, with Wednesday (December 4) forecasted to bring a significant snow front stretching from Northumberland, Cumbria, and the North East of England to Merseyside, Greater Manchester, and Lancashire.
Scotland faces a blanket of snow as temperatures plummet, indicated by a purple hue on WX Charts suggesting potential flurries and accumulations. James Madden from Exacta Weather commented: “Cool with some transient snow, plus more settled in places, then milder and stormy in places, then cold and more wintry for all with snow to lower levels by this weekend (all in a week of the British weather)…”
“Our forecast expectations are still seeing a big area of rain turning to heavy snow across large parts of Scotland from later this evening, and some significant but transient snow could be recorded across higher and much lower routes in these parts from this particular snow event.”
“Additionally, some of these transient wintry showers could also develop briefly in parts of northeast England and Yorkshire across moderate to higher ground in this same period. The additional and high risk of rain turning to snow will persist across the north and Scotland through much of the week, with the exception of the odd day, before the wintry weather and snow showers start to become more widespread as they clash with air cold enough for snow across our shores from around Friday evening to Sunday of this week and possibly into early next week.”
“The snow will certainly be definitive across higher ground and to some much lower levels in parts as far south as northern England, northeast England, Yorkshire, Wales, central and southern England, and certain parts of Ireland in this period from the coinciding low-pressure areas and weather fronts we previously covered during this week that will also make it quite windy and stormy in places at times, particularly in some western areas and across Ireland.
“This will then also pave the way for another high-confidence cold and more potent snowy period in and around December 11 onwards. Additionally, the outlook will change from elsewhere on this, and once this next wintry episode kicks in later this week with some hard-to-shift frosts and dense fog to be expected for many by this weekend and early next week.”, reports Birmingham Live.
