Parts of Nottinghamshire could see snow this weekend as colder air moves in, according to forecasts from Netweather and the Met Office.
Netweather suggests there is a high risk of snow early on Saturday morning (February, 14), with a 95 per cent chance between 6am and 9am. The forecaster also highlights further wintry potential into Sunday, with snow possible from midnight to 3am, followed by a 60 per cent risk around 6am.
Later on Saturday, Netweather indicates a mix of rain and snow during the afternoon, particularly between 2pm and 3pm, as temperatures remain low but marginal.
The Met Office is also warning of wintry conditions, saying snow is possible on Friday as colder weather becomes established. Its outlook for Thursday to Saturday says conditions will stay cloudy with further rain at times on Thursday, before turning increasingly cold. Brighter spells are expected to develop into Friday and Saturday, but with wintry showers likely, especially in exposed areas.
According to Netweather, temperatures are expected to drop sharply, increasing the likelihood that precipitation will fall as snow rather than rain, particularly during the early morning hours when surface temperatures are lowest.
Any snowfall is most likely to be hit and miss, with small changes in temperature making a big difference to what falls. Rural areas and higher ground may be more likely to see settling snow than town and city centres, where surfaces are warmer.
