AN AMBER weather warning has been issued in Worcestershire as Storm Goretti is likely to bring heavy snow.

The weather warning is set to be in place between 8pm on Thursday and 9am Friday.

Storm Goretti is likely to bring heavy snow, leading to disruption and difficult travelling conditions.

A yellow weather warning for snow, issued yesterday (Tuesday) remains in place from Thursday at 5pm until midday on Friday.

A statement on the Met Office website said: “Rain, associated with Storm Goretti, will spread northeastwards across the warning area through Thursday afternoon and evening, transitioning to snow fairly widely overnight and into Friday.

“Snow initially will begin to accumulate across hills in Wales and then increasingly to lower levels overnight.




“Whilst not all areas may see accumulating snow, accumulations of 5-10 cm are likely quite widely, with scope for 15-25 cm in places, especially on some hills above 200 metres elevation.”
