Snow possible in Nottinghamshire overnight as Arctic air sweeps across the UK - here’s where and when

Parts of Nottinghamshire could experience snow fall tonight as cold Arctic air sweeps across the UK.

The county is currently under a yellow alert for cold weather, with sub-zero temperatures expected until Friday (November 21).

Predicting “markedly colder” temperatures this week after a mild November so far, the Met Office has issued several warnings for ice and snow covering northern England and Scotland.

Deputy Chief Forecaster Tom Crabtree explained: “Wednesday to Friday will be the coldest part of the week, and this period has the greatest potential for impactful weather, with multiple warnings in place.

“Overnight, temperatures could get down to minus ten, with a significant wind chill from the strong northerly wind making things feel even colder.

“Wintry snow showers are expected to extend south through Wednesday and into Thursday, mainly affecting north-facing coastal areas.

“Snow accumulations are possible, including 2-5 cm to some low-lying areas in the north and east where showers are frequent.

“On hills in parts of Northern Ireland, the northeast of England and Scotland, 5-10 cm of snow could fall and accumulations of 15-20cm are possible above 300 metres in parts of northeastern England and Scotland.”

Will it snow in Nottinghamshire overnight?

Current forecasts predict that Wednesday (November 19) and Thursday (November 20) will see temperatures in Nottinghamshire dropping below freezing.

Overnight temperatures are set to plummet as low as -2C, while daytime highs are not expected to climb higher than 5C on both days.

While northern parts of England are likely to experience significant moderate snowfall over the next 36 hours, here in Nottinghamshire things are not as clear cut.

The most likely chance of snow here in Notts will come tonight and into the early hours of Wednesday morning.

According to WX Charts, a band of snow and sleet will sweep across the Midlands between 1am and 6am on Wednesday morning.

In some areas this could result in a dusting of snow, while others will only experience sleet.

While Wednesday and Thursday are expected to feel very cold, there is no indication that Nottinghamshire can expect further snow on these days.
