Snow will become persistent and locally heavy as it pushes south to north across the warning area.
This warning is in force from 6 pm on Saturday 4 January until 12 noon on Sunday 5 January.
As well as snow, a period of freezing rain is also likely bringing some hazardous travel conditions, before milder air follows across all areas by Sunday morning.
• AMBER warning for snow across Nottinghamshire
Whilst there is some uncertainty in details, 3-7 cm of snow is likely for much of the warning area, with locally 15-30 cm for the higher ground of Wales and the southern Pennines. Freezing rain could lead to ice accretion in places, especially parts of Wales, before the milder air leads to a rapid thaw of snow and ice in the south of the warning area through Sunday.
