Nottinghamshire should avoid most of the UK's worst weather on Thursday but should still expect strong winds.
And the Met Office says the East Midlands will be hit with early rain, sleet and snow which will then turn to blustery wintry showers.
A weather warning is in place in northern Scotland for snow and lightning as a potential Storm Gladys threatens to cause disruption.
In Nottingham, wind gusts will reach up to 36mph later on Thursday, February 24, but there are no warnings in place as of 8.30am
There is a 60 percent chance of rain through the day in the city and temperatures will reach highs of 5C but feeling like -2C at times due to the wind chill.
Here's the outlook for the East Midlands from the Met Office:

Early rain, sleet and snow, heavy at times, clearing during the morning. Then noticeably colder with sunny spells and blustery wintry showers. The showers becoming more isolated later, but lingering over the Peak District. Becoming windy. Maximum temperature 6 °C.
