Wintry showers will continue south on Tuesday morning, and with temperatures falling, roads are likely to turn icy in places. Sleet and snow showers may be heavy at times, particularly over the north of Scotland, with accumulations of more than 10 cm in places. Any snow cover will be patchy over low lying areas, with sleet or rain more likely near coasts. Over England and Wales in particular, settling snow will largely be confined to hills over 200 m, and even here coverage will be temporary.
The public should be aware of these wintry hazards and the potential for difficult driving conditions.
The first cold plunge of the season will bring air which has originated over the Canadian arctic south over the area. This air mass will contain frequent showers, which will fall as snow over hills, and at times to low levels, especially in heavier bursts. Accumulations will be mainly over vegetated surfaces, though cold rain or melting snow will chill road surfaces rapidly leading to a risk of icy stretches.
