Forecasters reckon parts of the UK could see snow by the end of this weekend as temperatures get set to plunge. The prediction - which is unsurprisingly just for the 'very highest mountain peaks' - comes on the back of much of the country, including North Staffordshire, being hit with two weather warnings.
Saturday saw yellow warnings for both wind and rain in place. However in stark contrast the Met Office reckons Sunday will be dry and sunny - with those conditions set to last all week.
However temperatures are set to plummet and parts of the Moorlands could feel as cold as 2C on Monday morning. That represents the start of a run of dry days where it will feel quite cool first thing.
Meanwhile from tomorrow, September 21, to Friday, September 26, and the Met Office says temperatures will peak at around 15C - but will feel more like 13C. That represents a drop in the 20C many experienced across Thursday (September 18) and Friday around North Staffordshire.
The Met Office says the colder conditions is down to a 'cooler air mass'. A spokesperson said: "As the low-pressure system pulls away towards Scandinavia on Sunday a cooler air mass will spill in from the north, replacing the recent warmth and there is a chance of snow over the very highest mountain peaks by the end of the weekend."
September 24 - October 3: "High pressure will dominate across many parts of the UK at first, leading to widely settled conditions and some patchy frost and fog at night. The main exception initially will be in East Anglia and southeast England, where showers will be possible, accompanied by a brisk breeze at times.
"These may ease later in the week, as low pressure over the North Atlantic attempts to push some cloud and patchy rain towards western and northwestern parts of the UK. Temperatures should gradually return closer to average. By early October, confidence in the overall weather patterns affecting the UK is very low, and whilst it may turn more changeable the wettest conditions are most likely towards the west and northwest."
October 4 - October 18: "Confidence is very low in the weather regimes most likely to affect the UK during this period. On balance, slow-moving weather patterns are most favoured at first, possibly with high pressure centred to the west of the UK, and low pressure to the northeast, allowing a slightly cooler and more changeable flavour to the weather to develop.
"Towards mid-October a more unsettled pattern may become established as areas of low pressure over the North Atlantic move close to or over the UK, with an increased chance in windy conditions at times. Temperatures will probably recover to near-average."
