The Met Office has updated its weather warnings for tomorrow as Storm Eunice is expected to sweep across the country.
While the South West has seen its weather warning upgraded to red – meaning possible danger to life – the risk of snow blanketing the whole of Cumbria has receded, while a warning for high winds remains in place.
Snow warning
It said the snow warning had been pulled northwards to reflect the latest information.
What to expect
Snow, heavy in places, is likely to develop on the northern side of Storm Eunice as it moves across the UK on Friday. Not all areas within the warning area are expected to see snow.
However, some places may see around 5cm of snow at low levels away from coasts. Accumulations are expected to be significantly higher over hills, with 10cm, possibly 20cm, above around 300 to 400 metres.
Strong winds occurring at the same time may lead to very poor visibility, blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow.
Wind warning
Strong winds will develop through the morning across parts of Northern Ireland and southwest Scotland, transferring across parts of northern England during the day Gusts of 50 to 60mph are likely, possibly 70-75mph in a few exposed sites.
