Further details

A band of rain, locally heavy in places, is likely to push slowly northeast across Wales and England late Monday. As this rain comes into contact with cold air in place, it is likely to readily turn to snow across parts of Wales, the Midlands, and later parts of northern England. 1-4 cm of snow is quite likely away from coasts, with 5-10 cm possible above about 150 metres. As well as snow, a period of freezing rain is possible for parts of east Wales and the West and South Midlands. Snow should turn back to rain from the south, lasting longest across parts of northern England.
