Weather experts at the Met Office have said to expect blustery winter showers on Thursday (February 24).
There are yellow weather warnings in place for wind and snow in parts of northern England and Scotland as Storm Gladys could hit the UK.
Frequent heavy snow showers are expected in parts of Scotland along with very gusty winds and a chance of frequent lightning affecting some places.
If extreme weather conditions develop on Wednesday or Thursday, this could be named Storm Gladys, the UK's next named storm, though forecasters have not yet confirmed this.
While there are no weather warnings in place for the East Midlands as of 1pm on Wednesday, the Met Office has said cold, blustery and wintry showers are expected on Thursday in the region.
