Three regions in the UK are likely to see more snow after Storm Goretti according to a Met Office forecast.
In its latest long-range forecast, the Met Office said Northern Scotland, the east and northeast of UK, could be hit by more snow between Tuesday, January 13 and Friday, February 6.
“The outlook through the latter part of January and into the start of February is typically uncertain. A broadly southwesterly regime is marginally favoured bringing changeable conditions and spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely, potentially with some very strong winds at times. However there is a chance that drier and colder conditions could extend into the UK from the east or northeast, along with a risk of some snow,” the forecast reads.
Meanwhile, some weather warnings remain in place for Scotland and the north of England, which will be covered by a yellow weater alert for snow and ice on Sunday, January 11 from 2am to 3pm
“A band of snow will move across the warning area through Sunday morning. Across northern England, this will mostly be confined to ground above 200 metres elevation, but across Scotland, this could fall to low levels during the morning, before becoming increasingly confined to higher ground through the afternoon.
“Whilst not all areas may see accumulating snow at low levels, 2 to 5cm is likely, perhaps locally 10 cm. Above 200 metres elevation, 10 to 20 cm is possible, perhaps locally up to 30 cm on hills exposed to the strong southerly winds, and over the highest parts of Scotland. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow, and widely icy conditions are likely,” the forecast issued by the Met Office for that day read.
For the rest of today (January 9) and Saturday (January 10), a warning for ice and snow will still be in place for certain areas of the UK which have already been badly hit by Storm Goretti (Scotland, north of England, the Midlands, and Wales).
“Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered wintry showers will continue to feed inland from the North Sea through Friday afternoon, evening and overnight into Saturday morning. These are likely to give some snow accumulations in places, more especially on hills above 100m elevation where 2-5 cm will be possible. As much as 10-15 cm could accumulate on hills above 300m elevation in parts of central and/or eastern Scotland,” the Met Office said.
