Met Office delivers snow verdict as spell of colder weather to hit next week

The Met Office has predicted there will be a chance of snow from next week as temperatures are expected to dip across Nottinghamshire. In its outlook for February 28 to March 9, the forecaster says high pressure is likely to migrate northwards, increasing the likelihood of colder, northerly winds across the UK and therefore increasing the chance of snow showers for many eastern and northern areas.

Its outlook reads: "On Tuesday (February 28), a mostly settled day across the country. Brisk winds expected in southern areas, with the risk of a few wintry showers. Northern areas will see more mild conditions. Through the rest of the week, high pressure will dominate across the UK, leading to dry conditions for most but rather cloudy at times.

"Showers are possible in southern and eastern areas, with a small chance of a few wintry showers in southern areas. For the rest of the period, high pressure is likely to migrate northwards, increasing the likelihood of colder, northerly winds across the UK, increasing the chance of snow showers for many eastern and northern areas.
