Yellow warning of snow

Warning
Showers of sleet and snow will continue to affect many eastern and particularly northeastern parts of the UK through the rest of this evening and into Wednesday giving icy stretches on untreated surfaces. The focus of showers is likely to transfer from northern and eastern Scotland and northeast England to parts of eastern and southeastern England on Tuesday night, with a few possibly penetrating into central England. Rain and sleet is more likely near exposed coasts but slightly further inland local snow accumulations of 1-3 cm are possible above around 100 m, with perhaps 5-10 cm over the Grampians and North York Moors. Most inland areas of the south should miss the snow. The snow showers will ease across much of Scotland later in the night.
The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel. This warning has been updated to change it to a combined ice and snow warning. The start time has been brought forward to this evening and the end time brought forward to the middle of tomorrow, Wednesday.
