Wales weather: Snow and ice warnings after temperatures drop

Will Wales see snow this weekend?

Forecasters have issued two weather warnings for wintry conditions in parts of Wales after temperatures fell.

The Met Office said snow could affect areas of mid and north Wales, with a yellow warning covering Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd, Powys and Wrexham until 12:00 GMT on Monday.

The forecaster said up to 15cm (6in) of snow could fall on some higher roads.

A separate ice warning has been issued for parts of north, mid and south Wales.

The warning for ice covers Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Monmouthshire, Powys and Wrexham until noon on Monday.

"With temperatures falling this evening, refreezing of thawed snow will lead to some icy patches on untreated surfaces," the Met Office said on Sunday, adding that "difficult travel conditions" were possible.

"As well as this, later in the night rain will push north across much of the area, initially falling on to frozen surfaces."
