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.

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.
