AMBER WARNING OF SNOW for southern Scotland and northeast England
Issued 22 Feb at 09:57 Valid from 02:00 Thu 23 Feb to 18:00 Thu 23 Feb Heavy snow is expected on Thursday. Accumulations of 10 to 15 cm are likely quite widely with 20 to 30 cm falling on hills above 300 metres. This will lead to disruption to transport and perhaps power supplies. YELLOW WARNING OF SNOW for parts of central and southern Scotland, and northern England Updated 22 Feb at 09:27 Valid from 02:00 Thu 23 Feb to 18:00 Thu 23 Feb Snow is expected over the high ground of northern England and Scotland on Thursday and may fall to low levels for a time in Scotland. Snow accumulations of 3 to 6 cm are likely above 200 metres with 10 cm or more above 300 metres. At low levels, including the Central Belt, 1 to 3 cm is possible in places. Expect some disruption to transport networks and possibly power supplies. Associated heavy rain at low levels will be an additional hazard. AMBER WARNING OF WIND for parts of northern England, the Midlands, East Anglia and north Wales Updated 22 Feb at 09:54 Valid from 06:00 Thu 23 Feb to 20:00 Thu 23 Feb Some very strong winds are expected on Thursday in association with storm Doris with gusts of 60-70 mph likely, and 70-80 mph on coasts and hills. Whilst the strongest winds look to be only short-lived, damage to structures, interruptions to power supplies and widespread disruption to travel networks are likely, with a danger of injury from flying debris. Trees are also likely to be damaged or blown over. Heavy rain is also likely through Thursday as well as some snow over high ground as the system clears eastwards. These may prove additional hazards. The warning has been updated to extend the at-risk area southwards. YELLOW WARNING OF WIND for England, Wales, southwest Scotland, and eastern Northern Ireland Updated 22 Feb at 10:09 Valid from 05:00 Thu 23 Feb to 20:00 Thu 23 Feb Some very strong winds are expected during Thursday in association with Storm Doris. Gusts of 50-60 mph are expected widely across the warning area, with the risk of 70 mph on coasts and hills. A small swathe of even stronger winds is likely to develop - most likely across parts of northern England, Wales, the Midlands and later East Anglia. Here a short period of gusts of 70 to 80 mph is likely - please refer to the separate Amber warning. Travel services could be affected including some restrictions on bridges and disruption to ferries. Some damage to trees and buildings is also possible. This is an update to the warning issued on Tuesday to extend the area at risk. YELLOW WARNING OF RAIN for Northern Ireland, southwest Scotland and northwest England Updated 22 Feb at 10:35 Valid from 21:00 Wed 22 Feb to 14:00 Thu 23 Feb A spell of heavy rain will affect Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and parts of northern England during Wednesday night and Thursday morning, falling as snow over some of the higher ground. This has the potential to lead to some travel disruption and localised flooding. The warning has been updated to extend the area into parts of southern Scotland and northern England. YELLOW WARNING OF RAIN for parts of western Scotland and northwestern England Issued 11:15 Wed 22 Feb Valid from 00:00 Sat 25 Feb to 21:00 Sat 25 Feb Heavy rain is expected over northwest England and northwest Scotland on Saturday.

YELLOW WARNING of WIND and SNOW for MUCH OF SCOTLAND
Issued at 10:56 on Wed 11 Jan Valid from 00:05 on Thu 12 Jan Valid to 23:55 on Thu 12 Jan Strong winds, gusting up to around 60 mph in places, will continue to drive heavy, squally, wintry showers across much of Scotland on Thursday. Many of the showers will fall as snow away from western coasts, with ice, hail and lightning posing additional hazards. 10-20 cm of snow may accumulate over some higher ground during the day, with drifting and blizzard conditions at times. Several cm of snow may affect some lower-lying areas. Road and rail services may be affected with delays and cancellations possible. Expect longer journey times. This warning has been updated to extend the main risk of impacts slightly further east across parts of southern Scotland. YELLOW WARNING of SNOW for SOUTHWEST SCOTLAND, NORTHERN IRELAND, NORTHWEST ENGLAND, NORTHERN ADN WESTERN WALES and PARTS OF SOUTHWEST ENGLAND Issued at 11:16 on Wed 11 Jan Valid from 00:05 on Thu 12 Jan Valid to 23:55 on Thu 12 Jan Snow showers, initially affecting Northern Ireland and southwest Scotland, will progressively extend southeast to affect the rest of the warning areas during Thursday. There is the potential for disruption to transport networks with longer journey times. Icy stretches on untreated roads and pavements are also possible. This warning has been updated to extend it into parts of southwest England and to slightly adjust the boundary across southwest Scotland. YELLOW WARNING of SNOW for SOUTHERN WALES and SOUTHERN ENGLAND Issued at 10:28 on Thu 12 Jan Valid from 12:00 on Thu 12 Jan Valid to 23:55 on Thu 12 Jan Rain moving eastwards across the south of the UK today may turn to snow in places. The most likely scenario is for 2 to 4 cm to fall above about 100 m elevation across parts of southeast England with 1 to 2 cm to low levels in places. However, there remains a small chance of snow settling more widely with 5 to 10 cm at low levels this evening, leading to disruption to road, rail and air services as well as interruptions to power supplies and other utilities - this more likely across East Anglia and southeast England. Across Wales and western England snow will more likely be confined to high ground. Associated heavy rain and strong winds may prove additional hazards. As skies clear this evening and tonight there is also potential for widespread ice to form quite rapidly on untreated surfaces. This is an update to add more details of possible snow amounts; also to delay the start time a little. YELLOW WARNING of ICE for SOUTHEASTERN SCOTLAND and EASTERN AND SOUTHERN ENGLAND Issued at 10:42 on Thu 12 Jan Valid from 00:05 on Fri 13 Jan Valid to 11:00 on Fri 13 Jan Ice is expected to form on untreated surfaces on Thursday night and last into Friday morning. In addition, some outbreaks of sleet and snow are likely to run quickly southwards on Friday morning, chiefly affecting parts of northern and eastern England, clearing the extreme southeast by late morning. This may give local accumulations of one to two cm and add to icy conditions in places. Ice will lead to the risk of disruption with difficult driving conditions and expect longer journey times. The greater risk of disruption is across the Midlands, East Anglia and southeast England. YELLOW WARNING of SNOW for NORTHERN AND WESTERN SCOTLAND and WESTERN PARTS OF NORTHERN IRELAND Issued at 10:24 on Wed 11 Jan Valid from 00:05 on Fri 13 Jan Valid to 23:55 on Fri 13 Jan Cold, northerly winds will bring frequent snow showers throughout Friday. A further 2-5 cm of snow is possible, with an additional 10 cm across some higher ground. Further significant disruption to transport networks seems likely, although not all areas will be equally affected. Ice, lightning and strong winds will continue to pose additional hazards across parts of the area with large waves affecting northeast coastal areas. This warning has been updated to confine the main impacts to northern Scotland and the western side of Northern Ireland. YELLOW WARNING of SNOW for CENTRAL, EASTERN AND SOUTHWEST SCOTLAND, EASTERN NORTHERN IRELAND, EASTERN COUNTIES OF ENGLAND, WALES AND PARTS OF SOUTHWEST ENGLAND Issued at 10:41 on Wed 11 Jan Valid from 00:05 on Fri 13 Jan Valid to 23:55 on Fri 13 Jan Cold northerly winds will bring frequent snow showers throughout Friday. A further 2-5 cm of snow is possible, with an additional 10 cm across some higher ground. Further significant disruption to transport networks seems likely, although not all areas will be equally affected.

YELLOW WARNING of SNOW for NORTHERN AND EASTERN SCOTLAND and EASTERN COUNTIES OF ENGLAND Issued at 11:20 on Wed 11 Jan Valid from 00:05 on Sat 14 Jan Valid to 14:00 on Sat 14 Jan Showers of sleet and snow will continue. Further accumulations of 2 to 4 cm of snow may affect lowland areas while high ground may see locally 5 to 10 cm. Ice will be an additional hazard on untreated surfaces. Disruption to transport networks seems likely either due to snow or ice YELLOW WARNING OF FOG for parts of England and Wales.
