A yellow weather warning of snow has been issued by the Met Office for an area of the West Midlands, including Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire.

This weather warning is in force from 10am today (Thursday, January 12th) until 11.55pm tonight.

Over the border, in Monmouthshire, snow is also expected. A yellow weather warning is in force for most of Wales today and tomorrow.

On their website, the Met Office advise: "Rain moving eastwards across the south of the UK today may turn to snow in places. The most likely scenario is for 2 to 4 cm to fall above about 100 m elevation across parts of southeast England with 1 to 2 cm to low levels in places. However, there remains a small chance of snow settling more widely with 5 to 10 cm at low levels this evening, leading to disruption to road, rail and air services as well as interruptions to power supplies and other utilities.

"Associated heavy rain and strong winds may prove additional hazards. As skies clear on Thursday night there is also potential for widespread ice to form quite rapidly on untreated surfaces.
