WEATHER experts have issued a further warning of snow and ice for later this week.

A yellow weather warning from the Met Office is now in place across the whole of Wales from Tuesday morning until Wednesday morning.

But the Met Office has now issued a separate yellow warning of snow and ice for Most of Wales which comes into effect at 3pm on Thursday and lasts until 12noon on Friday.

A Met Office spokesman said: "Snow and ice may bring disruption to parts of England and Wales from Thursday afternoon through to early Friday.

"There is a small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.

"There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off.

"There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.

"There is a small chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces."

The forecast adds: "Rain and snow is expected to move in from the southwest, moving across England and Wales through Thursday into Friday. "This is likely to fall as heavy rain at first across the far southwest of England, but as it meets the cold air established over the rest of the country snow becomes more likely.

"There is a chance of two to five cm of snow for some places, timings are currently uncertain.

"10cm is possible in places, though there is uncertainty at this stage on where is most likely to see the greater snowfall accumulations.

"Overnight Thursday into early Friday ice may also become a hazard on any untreated surfaces as temperatures fall below freezing."
