Snow forecast to hit UK TONIGHT - exactly when and where will see wintry snowfall blast

Brits are in for a cold shock tonight as snow is forecast to hit parts of the UK, as weather charts show exactly when and where snow will fall tonight.

The unseasonably warm weather the UK has experienced this autumn is now coming to a dramatic end, and Brits have been warned that they need to wrap up warm from now on.

Unfortunately, while the country has been gripped by weather warnings this week, things do not look like they are going to get any better.

According to WXCharts, areas of the UK will see a dusting of snow settle from tonight.

While England will remain untouched, the North will see snow of about 3cm fall in front of their homes - starting at about midnight.

All throughout the night and early on into Sunday morning (November 20), parts of Northern Scotland - including Cairngorms National Park, Isle of Skye and Fort William - should see snow of around 1cm - 5cm settle.

The weather charts showed that snow will continue to fall all through Sunday and well into the end of the week for these areas.

It is important that you plan your journey well in advance before setting off in the snow, as well as checking that your car is in good shape - including inspecting your tyre pressures and breaks.

Make sure you check local and national transport for any cancellations or delays because of the snow too.

Meanwhile, looking into the long-range weather forecast for November 23 to December 2, the Met Office  said that unsettled weather will continue.

Brits can expect periods of rain and strong winds into the beginning December, as well as temperatures creeping back into the seasonal average.

The Met Office has forecast: "Unsettled weather is most likely to dominate at the start of this period. This is expected to bring spells of cloud and rain interspersed with heavy showers and brief dry interludes, especially in the northeast. Moderate to strong winds are likely for many, with coastal gales at times, especially in the west, and temperatures a little above the seasonal average.

"Towards the end of November and into the beginning of December, conditions likely to remain changeable, with periods of rain and strong winds, probably becoming a little less windy overall with temperatures trending back nearer to the seasonal average. More settled weather could become a little more prevalent, as well as overnight frost and fog."
