All the parts of the UK facing snow today AND tomorrow – as the Met Office issues a mixture of amber and yellow weather warnings – have been revealed. The Met Office has named a swathe of places earmarked for flurries in the next 48 hours.
Heavy snow showers becoming more frequent which will lead to some travel disruption on Sunday night and Monday morning, the Met Office has said.
Heavy snow showers will become more frequent and may merge to give longer spells of snow at times. The areas and period covered by this warning are when the heaviest and most disruptive snow is thought most likely during the current cold spell, with existing yellow warnings covering a wider area and a longer period.

Further accumulations of 5-10 cm is likely to fall fairly widely, with a few places seeing 20-30 cm over mainland Scotland. Strong winds at times may cause further drifting of snow and temporary blizzard conditions.
Whilst snow showers will ease on Monday night, an ice risk will continue through to Tuesday morning with the warning end time extended. The warning area has also been extended into East Lothian and more of the Scottish Borders.

Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered snow showers will move inland from the North Sea during Monday, giving some small accumulations in places.
Where snow showers are most frequent, this most likely across southeast Scotland, parts of North and East Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland, fresh accumulations of 5-8 cm will be possible in a few places. Lightning and gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially near windward coasts.Snow showers should become more isolated through Monday evening, but a risk of ice will persist through Monday night into Tuesday morning as temperatures fall below freezing.
