This is an update to the warning issued on Tuesday 6 February 2007 The Met Office is expecting a period of heavy snow to develop across much of Wales and parts of Southwest England early on Thursday, extending to the Midlands, London, the Southeast of England and East Anglia during the morning. Some snow is now also expected to reach Northern Ireland, with a risk to parts of northern England before dying away from all areas by Thursday evening. Accumulations of 2-5cm are expected quite widely inland, with 10-15cm possible for parts of the Midlands and Wales. Rain is more likely close to southern coasts and across most of Devon and Cornwall. The period of snow could cause disruption to travel networks, especially across high level routes and the fact that timing of this event will coincide with the morning rush-hour. This warning will be superseded by Flash Messages.
