More snowfall could hit the Wrexham area this weekend, with the conditions set to make a wintery turn. Again.

Two yellow weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office – covering from the early hours of Saturday morning through until Sunday night.

It is thought that some places could see 1 – 3cm of snowfall.

Temperatures are also set to return to the chillier side with the Met Office forecast showing highs of just 2C on Saturday and lows of -3C in the evening.

It’s a similar situation on Sunday, with highs of just 1C.

Details released by the Met Office state: “A band of rain will turn more widely to snow early Saturday morning followed by scattered snow showers through the remainder of the day.

“These showers may become more prolonged, particularly during the evening. Any melting of lying snow will lead to an ice risk on untreated surfaces on Saturday morning and night.

The chief forecaster’s assessment adds: “A band of snow will move slowly south through Saturday morning, followed by snow showers. Accumulations of 1-3 cm quite widely. Over higher ground above 200 metres, 5-10 cm is possible.

“Strong easterly winds will lead to drifting of snow. Marked wind chill will be another feature of the weather.
