A band of rain, mixed with called air, means snow is likely to develop, they say.

This could be as deep as 5cm quite widely, and up to 10cm in places. On high ground, it could even be as deep as 20cm.

The warning states: "This could lead to road, rail and air travel delays, with the potential for vehicles to become stranded or public transport to be cancelled. Rural communities with limited access routes could become cut off."

It adds: "There is currently a good deal of uncertainty over the precise track of the areas of rain and snow."
