On Wednesday, much of Northern Ireland is covered by a yellow rain warning from 3am until 9am on Thursday.  The Met Office warn there will be 20-25mm of rainfall expected widely, but some


areas such as northern parts of Antrim could see 40 to 60mm of rain, which could lead to some flooding.  Much of northern England and Scotland is under a yellow snow warning from 5am on


Wednesday until 9pm on Thursday. The Met Office warning reads: "An area of rain pushing north-eastwards is expected to increasingly fall as snow, at least for a time, as it encounters


colder air across Scotland and parts of northern England. "Heavier snowfall is more likely above 150m, where 5-15cm of snow may accumulate, and possibly as much as 30cm of snow in a few


locations. "At lower levels 2 - 5cm may accumulate but there remains a possibility that milder air makes more inroads, with the snow turning back to rain more widely, in this case


snowfall would largely be restricted to the highest ground. "A brief period of freezing rain, which would bring areas of ice, is possible in the western, especially south-western, part


of the warning area on Wednesday morning."
