Wednesday will bring cloud and showery rain to southern and central parts of England and Wales. The northern half of the country should stay dry. On Thursday the south east corner will have showers but the rest of the country will remain dry. Colder air will start to push back into the north with an increasing risk of wintry showers around eastern coastal areas. Friday could bring wintry showers to eastern England and Eastern Scotland but most places will be dry with sunny spells. Temperatures will be colder and Friday could have a hard frost.
The snow risk map shows much of Scotland covered by a 85-100 percent snow risk at 6pm.
This snow risk area increases by Sunday afternoon and starts to edge further south, with parts of northern England also covered by a high risk of snow.
From the early hours of Monday morning the whole of Wales and parts of the Midlands are covered by a high snow risk, as indicated by the dark red colouring.

UK snow radar: Temperatures could drop to -4C in Scotland (Image: WXCHARTS) This would allow a trough of low pressure to develop over western and north-western Europe, leading to more unsettled and changeable conditions. Precipitation will likely be quite variable as Atlantic frontal systems potentially move through. Similarly, temperatures will likely be quite variable as well, but there will be plenty of mild spells as fronts arrive followed by colder snaps between fronts. The later we head in March, the more dominant low pressure systems will become for the UK.

It said: As we head into mid-March, high pressure will likely begin to ease and head even further west, too far away to influence our weather. As it moves away, a trough of low pressure will develop over western Europe, keeping things unsettled and quite changeable. Temperatures and precipitation will likely be quite variable throughout the week as Atlantic weather fronts frequent the country. Warm fronts should be able to tap into sub-tropical Atlantic air from near the Azores, leading to some mild, spring-like days.
SNOW is set to sweep across Britain at the start of next month as a 72-hour Arctic freeze looks set to grip the country, according to the latest weather charts.
