The Met Office has issued a weather warning for snow on Saturday.

Forecasters say snow could be heavy at times and may lead to some travel disruption.

The warning will be in force from 3am to 6pm on Saturday across Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Monmouthshire and Shropshire.

An area of rain pushing in from the southwest through the early morning will readily turn to snow in places as it encounters colder air.

There remains a good deal of uncertainty in how far north the rain and snow will get, before the band stalls and starts to move south again as it eases. 3-7 cm of snow is possible to low levels with the potential for 10-15 cm over high ground (above 200-300 m), mainly in Wales and the West Midlands.

There is a very low chance of perhaps as much 20 cm over highest parts of the Shropshire and Snowdonia.
