The Met Office has updated its forecast for Bristol and changed a prediction for heavy rain this afternoon and evening to a warning of heavy snow instead. The experts now say that this afternoon's band of heavy rain that is set to sweep in from the south west at around 3pm this afternoon will fall as snow in Bristol, and not rain, as forecasts earlier this morning predicted.
It means a renewed yellow weather warning for snow continues to be emphasised, as what was expected to be rain and sleet will instead blanket the city for around three hours before only turning to rain later into the evening.
