But now WX Charts‘ superior modelling maps present snow could possibly be on its manner a lot sooner. Snow likelihood maps present it might come down in North Wales, northern England and Scotland at midnight on Sunday (January 28) and early on Monday (January 29).

Predictably, it’s the Scottish Highlands the place the chance is best, sitting between 65% and 75% in elevated areas. Elsewhere in Scotland, in addition to elements of Northern Ireland, the chance sits between 20% and 40%.

The snow threat is lowest in North Wales and northern elements of England, sitting at 5% or under in locations. Further south, the climate maps present there isn’t a threat of snow earlier than subsequent week.

Netweather forecaster Paul Michaelwaite warns of snow in some elevated areas this Sunday. However, and because the snow likelihood maps counsel, it’s not anticipated to be widespread in any respect.

He writes: “Sunday will then see two things happening – that milder, cloudier air heads north into England and Wales, but at the same time, a quite lively front will move down from the northwest, bringing some heavy outbreaks of rain and gusty winds. The front may well have a crack at moving south through Scotland and into England and Wales during the day.

“How much success it’s liable to have is a bit uncertain at this point, it may make some progress, perhaps as far south as central England and Wales before it begins to fizzle out, but there’s a reasonable chance it’ll stay a bit further north that before fading.

“Once it has cleared by, there will be a cooler really feel with sunny spells for Scotland and Northern Ireland, however there’ll even be a scattering of showers, which’ll flip wintry over the hills and mountains in Scotland.”
