The Met Office has issued a weather forecast indicating that widespread snow is likely across the UK this weekend, particularly highlighting Sunday as the day with significant snowfall potential. On Friday, Northern Ireland and Scotland may experience some sunshine while rain moves southward, but areas around the coasts should still prepare for snow. The southern regions are forecasted to remain primarily cloudy and wet, though there may be some clearing later in the day.

As we approach the weekend, the temperatures are expected to drop significantly, setting a stark contrast to the milder days experienced recently. Saturday's weather is likely to feature bright skies and sunny spells, but will still feel much colder. The main concern, however, lies with Sunday's forecast; with the Met Office predicting wetter conditions and widespread snow that could cover large areas. This anticipated snow could impact travel and local conditions across many regions.

With additional snow predicted to follow later in February, the Met Office emphasizes the importance of residents staying informed about changing weather patterns. The alert serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of winter weather in the UK, encouraging people to prepare for potential disruptions caused by the predicted snowfall on Sunday.
