England is preparing for severe winter weather, with snow expected to blanket several counties this evening. According to the latest WXCharts maps, based on MetDesk data, regions including Northumberland, County Durham, Cumbria, North Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire are forecasted to experience snowfall by 9pm tonight. Snow has already been falling in north-west Scotland throughout the day and is anticipated to continue overnight. The latest weather maps indicate that snow will spread across a significant portion of the country, including the Highlands and the Grampians, with flurries also possible around Glasgow, Stirling, and Perth. The following English counties are likely to see snow: - Northumberland - County Durham - Tyne and Wear - North Yorkshire - West Yorkshire - Cumbria In addition to the snow, the Met Office has issued two yellow alerts for England—one for ice and another for rain. The ice alert, effective until 9am tomorrow, covers the East Midlands, North East England, North West England, West Midlands, and Yorkshire & Humber. The rain alert, which is in effect until the end of the day, includes the East Midlands, North East England, and Yorkshire & Humber. The Met Office's forecast for this evening and tonight states: "Rain clearing into the North Sea with strong winds in the east, especially along the coast. Elsewhere, drier with clear spells leading to a widespread frost and some icy stretches." In a separate weather warning, heavy rain is expected to fall across parts of the UK, with a month’s worth of rain predicted to arrive in just 24 hours. An amber warning has been issued for most of south Wales, where rainfall could reach up to 120mm in higher areas, posing a potential danger to life. The Environment Agency has issued one flood warning for the River Derwent at Buttercrambe Mill, along with 40 flood alerts across the country. The Met Office has also issued yellow warnings for rain affecting much of Wales and the north-west of England, including Manchester. Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Mike Silverstone commented, "Heavy rain will move over south Wales from late Sunday and through Monday. While rainfall amounts will vary, the largest accumulations are expected over the highest ground in south Wales and could reach 100-120mm through the day." As the week progresses, the Met Office predicts a changeable weather pattern, with low pressure continuing to influence conditions, leading to a mix of rain, showers, and occasional sunny spells. Residents are advised to remain vigilant and prepare for potential flooding, especially in areas already experiencing swollen rivers and saturated ground. Richard Preece, Natural Resources Wales’s Duty Tactical Manager, urged the public to stay away from swollen riverbanks and avoid driving or walking through floodwaters. With winter weather conditions intensifying, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed and take necessary precautions.
