Tomorrow morning, there will be more widespread rain, hail, sleet and snow. During the day, these showers will become less frequent and will turn more to rain and sleet rather than snow.
Rain is set to develop in the west and southwest tomorrow. Highest temperatures tomorrow will be between four and eight degrees.

It has also predicted that there will be snowfall in the UK this evening, after the country recorded it’s coldest night of the winter overnight.
It follows Topcliffe in North Yorkshire recording a chilly minus 8 degrees overnight, making it the coldest temperature recorded in England this winter.
