Met Office issues yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Norfolk

Snow could be on the way for parts of West Norfolk as weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office.

The weather service has forecast snow and ice on Wednesday and Thursday, which is expected to affect the area of the region which is south of Downham.

A yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office for these days with a small chance of disruption to transport.

The temperature is predicted to fall to zero degrees Celsius in the Hilgay area on Wednesday.

An Atlantic frontal system looks likely to bring rain into parts of southwestern Britain on Wednesday.

As this rain moves further east into colder air, there is a chance of this rain turning to snow.

The Met Office says the extent of any snow is very uncertain, but two to five cm could fall across England, with a small chance of 10 to 15cm settling in a few places, most likely on high ground.

As the rain and snow clears on Wednesday night there is a risk of widespread ice forming on untreated surfaces.
