Not all areas within the warning area are expected to see snow, however, some places may see around 5cm of snow at low levels away from the coasts.

Accumulations are expected to be significantly higher over hills, with 10cm, possibly 20cm, above around 300 to 400 metres.

Strong winds occurring at the same time may lead to very poor visibility, blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow.
