Forecasters have updated their predictions for snow to come to Nottingham next week as a major cold weather alert was issued for the county. The Met Office and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued a cold weather alert from Monday (March 6) to Wednesday (March 8) for Nottinghamshire and the rest of England saying freezing conditions could mean danger for the vulnerable and elderly.
In Nottingham the BBC is reporting that snow and sleet could arrive at 10pm on Monday (March 6) - with there then being a 22 hour window until 8pm on March 7 where snow and sleet is likely to fall. During this period temperatures will fall to as low as -3C - but the Met Office is warning that the wind chill factor means it will feel like -5C - so make sure you put your winter clothes on!
For the East Midlands during this period the Met Office said: “Bright spells and scattered showers Sunday, occasionally wintry over high ground and coasts. Wintry showers becoming more frequent and widespread through Monday and Tuesday. Cold throughout with overnight frost."
