Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Mike Silverstone said: “We do see some change in our weather through the weekend, with rain in the west and the chance of snow further east over higher ground on Saturday.”.
Parts of the UK could see snow this weekend as the country’s cold snap looks set to continue, the Met Office said.
The gloomy and cold weather will linger over the weekend and throughout the start of next week, with clearer skies predicted across the UK from Tuesday, the forecaster said.
From Friday night and into Saturday, snow is likely to fall over higher ground in Scotland and northern England, with a few centimetres possible in the Grampians and in the north Pennines.
The grey and cold weather will therefore linger for a few more days until Tuesday next week, when the UK may finally see some sunshine.
