A YELLOW weather warning is in place as Storm Goretti is set to bring snow to Worcestershire later this week.
The weather warning predicts snow could hit Worcestershire and surrounding areas from 6pm on Thursday (January 8) until midday Friday.
The Met Office said Storm Goretti is likely to bring heavy snow, leading to disruption and difficult travelling conditions.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “A deep area of low pressure will move across the south of the UK during Thursday and into Friday, bringing a mixture of rain, snow and strong winds.
“A spell of heavy snow is likely to develop over higher ground in south Wales later on Thursday, before rain turns to snow more widely over parts of England and Wales during Thursday night.
“In some areas, 5-10 cm of snow may settle with the potential for up to 20 cm in some locations, especially over higher ground.
“Strong winds may lead to some drifting of snow.
“Rain and snow will then clear eastwards during Friday.”
A second weather warning for ice is in place tonight (Tuesday, January 6) into Wednesday morning, which could lead to some disruption.
The Met Office said this could lead to some minor disruption, especially on Wednesday morning.
This follows snowfall across much of Worcestershire over the past few days.
