Severe Weather Warning

November 21, 2008 11:30
 

A Severe Weather Warning has been issued by the Met Office for this weekend. At present it does not affect London and the Southeast of England. There is likely to be another warning issued relating to Sunday. This is for a potentially more disruptive problem with freezing rain and black ice on Sunday morning which potentially could affect much of the London area for a time on Sunday morning. The band of precipitation (some snow may be also be seen) will bring with it eventually some milder air but road and pavement conditions could be treacherous for a time on Sunday morning. It will be worth checking the Met Office web pages on Saturday (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/se_forecast_warnings.html) for the latest situation regarding this .
