A massive snow storm is on its way to the UK, starting Friday. Expect heavy snow across Scotland, northern England, and parts of Northern Ireland.
Edinburgh: A huge snow storm is about to hit the UK. New maps show it stretching 555 miles. The storm will start affecting Scotland and northern England first.
Snow is expected to roll in on Friday. Northern Ireland and parts of the Midlands will also see some flurries. Even Wales might get a little dusting.
James Madden from Exacta Weather shared updates on Facebook. He mentioned that rain will turn into heavy snow across the northern half of the UK and Ireland.
He warned that the snow could be disruptive, especially from Friday to Sunday. There might be some wet and windy weather in between, but the snow is the main concern.
Jim Dale, a senior meteorologist, is keeping an eye on the storm. He said Northern England, Wales, and the Midlands should prepare for snow this Saturday.
Scotland will likely see the heaviest snow, especially in higher areas. He mentioned that while some places might get 1-3 cm, it won’t last long.
It’s all about the cold side of the storm, which is coming from the north. The latest forecasts have been called “horror” snow maps due to the expected intensity.
