Wintry levels at high today
by Emma Jesson
A cold start today with cloud building ahead of the next frontal system which is making progress from the NW.
By 3pm the line of rain on the front will be lying in an imaginary line from The Wash to Bournemouth, the heaviest rain to the NW of that.
At higher levels this may turn wintry, especially over the Peak District, Derbyshire and parts of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. 2-4cm of lying snow through the Peak District.
Winds, but not from the Arctic, temperatures of 4 or 5c proving irrelevant in the wind. You may have difficulty holding onto a brolly.
Friday morning, rain clears later, so sunny spells and scattered showers for most. Showers again falling as snow over hills. Above 2-400m of snow likely over the Peak District, Lincolnshire Wolds. Showers become confined to the North Sea by evening.
High pressure builds in for the weekend, so fine, sunny, cold by day, with widespread frost by night and a definite wind chill.
A miserable start to the week – brighter by the evening
