A powerful Atlantic storm is set to hit Britain in the coming days, bringing a dual threat of deep snow and torrential rain, according to weather modeling maps. The ECMWF weather model forecasts the storm spiraling over the British Isles in the early hours of March 3, with maps turning purple and blue to signify heavy snowfall and rain. This follows a Met Office warning of “colder, showery conditions with a risk of snow” as the country transitions into a new month.
Snow is expected to blanket all of Scotland, with as much as eight inches predicted to settle, extending as far south as Manchester. Meanwhile, cities further south are likely to experience heavy rain as the storm moves eastward across the country, according to weather projections.
