Wintry conditions to continue with sleet and snow still possible

The frosty weather isn't quite done with us yet and it's set to continue for a few more days.

Across Merseyside it will stay dry throughout the day and frost may linger into the afternoon. The Met Office say that temperatures will reach only a maximum of 2C on Wednesday, December 14.

Into Thursday and Friday, it will remain dry with some sunny spells but frost and fog will still be on the forecast. Over the weekend it's set to turn cloudier with some showers. These showers could turn wintry at times, with snow possible on Sunday.

However the temperature will be milder over the weekend, with highs of 5C and 6C possible, despite snow and sleet predicted.

Paul Gundersen, Met Office Chief Forecaster, said: "Over the last week, the UK has been held in a northerly airflow bringing cold, sometimes Arctic air, to the UK. We will still have this northerly influence to our weather patterns until the weekend, but then the cold conditions will lose exclusive dominance over the UK’s weather patterns and we will move into a regime where relatively mild and relatively cold conditions will vie for supremacy.

"We can expect changeable conditions with colder and milder air not too far away from our shores, but it does seem that the Atlantic ‘has woken up’ compared with recent days and will be a stronger influence, countering any further bouts of extreme cold conditions, although spells of further wintry weather remain possible through the rest of December."
