New UK weather maps show a deluge of snow blasting the UK with icy -3C temperatures just hours after Storm Jocelyn wreaks havoc up and down the country. The end of the week could bring with it treacherous conditions, as forecasters predict a flurry of snow off the back of heavy rain.
The experts at WX Charts are displaying radars indicating that the UK may well be swallowed up by a storm before snow arrives, potentially causing chaos over the weekend.
According to WX Charts’ weather maps, heavy rain is due to fall at midnight on Friday morning, hammering everywhere from the northern tip of Scotland to the south coast of England.
Six hours later, WX Charts predicts that there may be snowfall in the Scottish Highlands as well as other areas of England and Wales.
Temperatures in most areas of the UK will be between two and seven degrees by 6am. However, according to the experts, the Scottish Highlands may remain as cold as -2 or -3C.
Meanwhile, the Met Office has amber and yellow weather warnings in place for Wednesday this week. From 6pm on Tuesday until 8am on Wednesday an amber warning for wind is in place along most of the Scottish coastline as Storm Jocelyn threatens to bite.
Meanwhile a yellow warning is in place for most of the rest of the country until 3pm tomorrow, with winds up to 80mph predicted.
