Met Office snow weather maps show when and where fresh deluge is forecast to hit North Wales

North Wales is forecast to have more snow and sleet tomorrow (Thursday) as the cold snap continues. Temperatures are predicted to fall as low as -4°C overnight in the Ruthin area, with other areas also seeing the mercury drop to below freezing.

Met Office maps today are also showing flurries of snow and sleet in parts, starting in the early hours of the morning and into the early evening. And weather forecasters are warning there could be more wintry weather to follow. A Met Office forecast said: “Thursday and Friday will bring continued low temperatures with snow and ice warnings likely to be issued as confidence in the most likely impacted areas increases. Fronts moving in from the southwest on Friday and Saturday bring the potential for more snow, with the possibility of further warnings.”

Deputy Chief Forecaster, Chris Almond, said: “Thursday will see another cold night, with potentially the lowest temperatures of the Winter so far, -15°C or so is possible in locations with lying snow in Scotland or northern England.

“In the early hours of Friday, a front arriving from the west will encounter the cold air in place over the UK. This could bring further sleet or snowfall for some regions in the south and west, as well as a risk of ice for a time as it moves north-eastwards into central parts, but the extent of this is still uncertain.”

“By Sunday, milder air will have moved in across much of the UK, meaning rain is more likely than snow as we get to the end of the weekend. Northern Ireland and Western Scotland are most likely to see some showery outbreaks of rain and breezy conditions through Sunday, with conditions further south and east drier and more settled.”
