Our forecasts, here at Severe Weather Updates, also suggest that some snowfall is possible in the south later on Wednesday and into Thursday. Where, or exactly how much, is quite uncertain at present. Parts of the West Country & also the home counties may be at risk from some fairly significant snow, perhaps up to 10cm locally. No further details can be given and the areas discussed here are subject to change in the coming day.
