Britain could be hit by a 251-mile band of snowfall as freezing conditions grip parts of the country, with temperatures forecast to fall as low as -5C. Weather charts produced by WXCharts suggest snow could settle across areas of Scotland, stretching from the Highlands to Argyll and Bute, on November 17.
While Scotland is expected to see widespread snowfall, parts of England are likely to face heavy rain, according to the latest weather maps. Temperatures across northern areas are forecast to fluctuate between -1C and -5C, with the coldest conditions expected in and around the Highlands.
Met Office fog warning
The weather maps come as the Met Office issued a yellow fog warning for parts of England and Wales, with forecasters predicting transport delays and difficult travel conditions. The warning was in place from 6pm on Monday to 10am on Tuesday, with the Met Office forecasting a "night of dense fog".
Long-range forecast
The Met Office's long-range weather forecast between November 14 and 23 reads: "High pressure will initially dominate, with widely settled conditions and overnight frost."
"Some showers are likely in northern and western Scotland though, and perhaps along some other western coasts for a time. Later in the weekend, a transition to more unsettled conditions is expected as bands of rain, and associated areas of low pressure, arrive from the North Atlantic, bringing more widespread wet and windy weather."
"It is likely to remain fairly changeable through the remainder of the period, with occasional rain interspersed with brighter, showery spells. Whilst colder conditions will be possible at times, especially at first, it will often be mild, with temperatures near or a little above average for the time of year."
Areas affected by the snow
The areas expected to see snow include Highland, Moray, Aberdeenshire, Perth and Kinross, Argyll and Bute, Stirling, and West Dunbartonshire.
