Mid Wales is braced for more wintry weather ahead this weekend with a warning in place for ice and snow.

Most of Wales, Shropshire and Herefordshire are predicted to see snow and icy conditions – which could cause travel disruptions.

The Met Office said the yellow weather warning will be in place between 3am and 6pm on Sunday (January 24).

"An area of rain will cross the west and southwest of the country on Sunday morning and turn readily to snow as it spreads eastwards, and also lead to some icy surfaces.

"Mainly 1-3cm of snow accumulation for most parts, but possibly 5-10cm over 100m with a small possibility of 10-15cm over high ground for example on the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia.

"These snow amounts will cause some disruption to transport, especially on routes that cross even modest high ground."

County Times:

What to expect

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services with the potential for some roads to become blocked on higher level routes
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
