Travel disruption and power cuts are possible as snow is forecast for much of Wales for the second weekend in a row.

A Met Office yellow weather warning covers 15 of Wales' 22 counties from 03:00 GMT until 18:00 on Saturday.

Last weekend's snowfall led to four of Wales' Covid vaccination being shut.

There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off, the Met Office said.
