A band of rain slowly pushes across the country today and it is will turn to snow in north eastern areas as it bumps into the colder air. Substantial accumulations of snow are possible, particularly over high ground. In the south west and west it turns milder. Tomorrow the wet weather clears away, but for a time the risk of snow could push southwards into Lincolnshire and parts of East Anglia.

Wednesday starts with outbreaks of rain in Northern Ireland, Wales and parts of western England. To the northeast it is dry and there has been a widespread frost. Through the day outbreaks of rain slowly push eastwards and at times they will be heavy. In the north the rain increasingly turns to sleet or snow over high ground and perhaps at low levels too. There is the potential for disruptive accumulations on high level routes. Drier conditions follow into central England but further spells of rain push into the west.
Cold in northern and eastern Britain but mild elsewhere. Temperatures range from 0C (32F) in Scotland to 11C (52F) in the south west. See the rain radar for the latest view.
Tonight wet weather continues to affect much of the country, although it could turn drier in Northern Ireland. In northern England and Scotland further snow is likely, especially over high ground.
