The Met Office's chief forecaster said: "Rain and snow is expected to move in from the southwest, moving across England and Wales through Thursday into Friday.

The ICON model seems to have a good grasp on the situation regarding snow tomorrow and Thursday across southern portions of the UK. Details will naturally change but Thursday has far more potential.

"This is likely to fall as heavy rain at first across the far southwest of England, but as it meets the cold air established over the rest of the country snow becomes more likely."
