Further details

Wintry showers are likely to persist on Tuesday night, and as ground temperatures fall below freezing, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces. Some wet snow may fall to low levels at times well inland but any settling will mostly be confined to high ground. 2-5 cm snow is likely above 250 metres, and perhaps up to 10 cm in a few places above 400 metres over the north Pennines.
