The weather warning states: "Outbreaks of rain and sleet, with snow over hills will spread east during Wednesday, before increasingly turning to snow in places.

"This seems likely to happen during Wednesday evening across southern areas of Scotland, perhaps including parts of the central belt.

"The trend to wintry weather then extends into parts of northern England during the rest of Wednesday night, clearing from Yorkshire during the morning.

"At this stage, it looks as if the heaviest snow will affect parts of southern Scotland (for which a separate Amber warning is in force) and upland areas of northern England, including cross-Pennine routes, where 3 to 6 cm may fall in a number of areas, with possibly as much as 10 cm locally, mainly above elevations of 300 metres.
