Weather maps from WX Charts, based on the ECMWF system, show snow beginning early Saturday morning, February 14, spreading across northern regions. England could also see lighter snowfalls, with one to four inches possible in affected areas.
According to Jim Dale of British Weather Services, southern England is unlikely to see significant snowfall. However, parts of Northern Ireland, northern England, and Wales – particularly at higher elevations – could experience wintry conditions.
James Madden from Exacta Weather said: “From Wednesday evening, snow showers will begin forming across Scotland and the far north, gradually spreading to lower routes in northern and north-east England, as well as Northern Ireland. By Friday, snow could reach large parts of Yorkshire, central England, and Wales, with warnings in place for many northern and eastern counties.”
He added that by late Friday and early Saturday, the snow could extend further south, affecting some regions of south-west England and even areas around London before gradually easing.
“There is also a growing risk of transient snow in parts of Ireland during this period,” Madden said, noting that colder overnight conditions will amplify the spread and severity of snowfall across the UK.
Residents are advised to monitor local weather warnings, plan travel carefully, and take necessary precautions as the country prepares for a potentially disruptive winter weekend.
