Yellow warning for North East England

Rain & snow
Between 12:00 Wed 4 Apr and 23:59 Wed 4 Apr

Headline

Heavy rain and hill snow is expected.

What to expect

  • Spray and flooding on some roads along with snow, mostly on higher routes, will probably give difficult driving conditions and make journey times longer
  • Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer
  • Flooding of a few homes and business is likely
Issued: Wed 4 Apr 10:50

Further details

An area rain over northern England and southern Scotland will persist here for much of Wednesday with some heavy bursts likely. This will fall as snow at times, mainly on higher ground and more so during Wednesday afternoon and evening, with accumulations of 2-4 cm possible above 200 m with up to 8 cm above 300 m. Some wet snow is possible to low levels at times but accumulations are not expected here. Conditions are expected to improve over parts of northern England during Wednesday afternoon but then some heavy and perhaps thundery showers will form before the main area of rain and hill snow pushes southeastwards on Wednesday evening. Around 10-20 mm of rain is expected to fall quite widely across the area, and some parts could see 30 mm or so. The heavy showers over northern England could give very locally 20 mm of rain in 2 to 3 hours. As this rain clears southeastwards clearer conditions will spread in from the northwest with a few icy patches possible in places.
