As the weekend approaches so does the start of a significant cold spell for the UK, of which will signal some significant snowfall for specific regions of the UK, especially within the next 1 to 3 days.
During Saturday Northern and Eastern Scotland and some fringes of Eastern England will be at risk of seeing some scattered wintry showers, of which by the end of Saturday may have produced one or two centimeters of snow, especially over higher ground. Western Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Southwestern England could see a few centimeters of snow by the end of Saturday especiallly over 150m to 200m in association with a frontal wave.
As the wind direction becomes more of a Northeasterly into Sunday and Monday, trough features become more extensive sleet and snow showers will be widespread and may well be moderate to heavy in intensity. Troughs will aid in grouping the snow showers into more organised bands and this may lead to more persistent snowfall for a time over Eastern England and some Central areas of England. Snowfall totals by Monday are likely to be between 1cm and 5cm generally, however could well be higher especially depending on the development and influence trough features will have on the general and local situations.
