EARLY WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/warnings.htmlEARLY WARNING of Freezing Rain and Widespread Icy Roads Issued by the Met Office at 11:04 on Tuesday, 29 November
OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT: The probability of disruption due to severe weather conditions in part of the United Kingdom within the next 24 hours is 60 percent.
This is the first warning of disruption due to Freezing Rain.
The Met Office is expecting a band of rain (initially starting as snow) to edge eastwards across the country during Wednesday 30th November. There is a moderate to high risk of this rain falling onto sub-zero surfaces and this will lead to widespread icy conditions for a time. Latest evidence suggests that the peak risk will coincide with the Wednesday morning rush-hour over central areas of the UK. This will be a short-lived but potentially dangerous event.
