A spell of snowfall could cause some travel disruption
A six-hour weather warning for snowfall has been issued by the Met Office. The warning covers parts of Cambridgeshire and runs from 10am to 4pm on Sunday (February 15).
The Met Office say that eastward-moving rain on Sunday morning is likely to turn to sleet and snow. Slushy accumulations of a cm or so are likely, with a chance of 2-4 cm should snow turn briefly heavier, this is more likely for the Lincolnshire Wolds and parts of Norfolk and Suffolk.
The show should turn back to rain before clearing late afternoon. Any lying snow is forecast to melt relatively quickly. Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous.
The warning covers parts of Cambridgeshire, including Soham, Ely, Wisbech and March. Also affected is Lincolnshire, Rutland, part of Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.
The Met Office’s East of England weather forecast for Sunday says: “A spell of sleet or snow is possible for a time in the morning before turning to rain from the west. Spells of heavy rain are becoming widespread for a time during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 7 °C.”
Turning to Sunday evening, they add: “Rain soon clearing the east to leave a mostly dry night with some clear spells. Perhaps some isolated heavy showers towards dawn. Minimum temperature 3 °C.”
