Updated: Sat 31 Mar 11:09 Further details As a weather system moves in from the south and comes up against cold air over the UK, rain will turn to heavy snow in places. Several cm of snow are possible, mainly over ground above around 200 m, with drifting in strong winds. The greatest risk of medium impacts is across the northern Pennines and Scottish Borders where there is a chance of around 10 cm of snow accumulating. There is also the possibility of a few cm of wet snow gathering locally at lower levels. The snow is likely to be affecting southern parts of the warning area in the early hours of Monday before reaching Scotland later in the morning. Snow is likely to gradually turn to rain across the southern Pennines later on Monday.
