Further details

Snow showers will feed inland on brisk northerly winds from late Tuesday through Wednesday and into Thursday, giving significant accumulations in places. Whilst there will be a lot of regional variation in amounts, where showers are most frequent 2-5 cm will be possible at low levels, with 5-10 cm on hills above about 100 m elevation, and potentially as much as 15-20 cm above 300 m.

Gusty winds and perhaps a few lightning strikes may accompany some of the showers, posing as additional hazards. Where showers persist and/or snow partially thaws and then refreezes overnight, this will bring a risk of ice.
