FTA has received a ‘first warning’ from the National Severe Weather Warning Service of heavy snow during Wednesday night (7 February).
Regional risk assessment for the following areas:
- East Midlands(70%)
- East of England(70%)
- London & SE England(70%)
- SW England(70%)
- West Midlands(70%)
- All of Wales(70%)
- NW England(60%)
- Yorkshire & Humber(60%)
- NE England(30%)
- All other regions less than 20%
The Met Office is expecting a period of heavy snow to develop across South West England and much of Wales during Wednesday night and this is expected to extend across the Midlands, London, the South East of England and East Anglia during Thursday morning. There is also a risk that the snow will extend into parts of northern England for a time before dying away from all areas during Thursday afternoon. Accumulations of 2-5cm are expected quite widely inland, with 10-15cm possible for parts of the Midlands and Wales. Rain is more likely close to southern coasts where less cold air is expected. The period of snow could cause disruption to travel networks, especially across high level routes and the fact that timing of this event will coincide with the morning rush-hour.
This warning will be updated by the Met Office 1100 tomorrow, Wednesday February 2007.
