Further details
An area of rain moving into Northern Ireland during Sunday night turns to sleet and snow during the early hours of Monday before turning back to rain again from the south during the course of the morning. The bulk of accumulations will be above 100 to 200 metres with a chance that above 200 metres some places may see 5 to 10 cm snow. At lower levels, snow cover will be patchier with small temporary accumulations and slushy deposits. During the afternoon, strong winds may then lead to some drifting of lying snow over hills and mountains.

Further details
A band of rain reaching southern parts of northern England during Sunday night quickly turns to snow before spreading northeastwards across the rest of the warning area. Across northern England, snow will then turn to rain from the south and west through the course of the morning before slowly turning to rain at lower levels over the part of the warning area in Scotland. The bulk of accumulations will be above 200 metres where 2-5 cm is likely in many areas whilst above 300 to 400 metres 5 to 10 cm is expected. At lower levels accumulations will be smaller, patchier and shorter-lived and it may be that little, if any, snow falls in some eastern coastal areas. A brief spell of freezing rain is possible as snow begins to turn to rain, leading to icy stretches. Meanwhile, given saturated ground and recent flooding, the combination of snow melt and rain may also bring about some disruption, mainly over parts of northern England.
