Snow showers, ice warnings, thunderstorms: Your early morning forecastpublished at 07:04 GMT<\/p>\n

07:04 GMT<\/p>\n

\"\"Sarah Keith-Lucas
Weather presenter<\/p>\n

Thursday
\nwill bring another cold, icy day with Arctic air firmly in place across
\nthe UK. Temperatures are widely several degrees below freezing first
\nthing, and have been down to -6C in Cumbria.<\/p>\n

Sleet
\nand snow showers will be driven in on a chilly northerly wind and will mainly
\naffect coastal areas exposed to this wind.<\/p>\n

The
\nworst affected areas today are expected to be the North York Moors and parts of
\nthe Yorkshire Wolds, were an amber snow warning is in force. Forecasters say 15-25cm (6-10 inches) of snow
\nmay accumulate over the high ground by the end of the day, causing significant
\ndisruption.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere,
\nyellow snow and ice warnings are in force for Northern Ireland, northern and
\neastern Scotland, parts of eastern England, as well as the far south-west of
\nEngland and south-west Wales. <\/p>\n

In these regions, expect 2-5cm (0.8-2 inches) of snow,
\neven for low lying areas, with perhaps as much as 10 -20cm (4-8 inches) of snow for the
\nhighest ground in northern Scotland. <\/p>\n

Thunderstorms may also accompany
\nsome of the snow showers in the east, and icy stretches will be also a hazard.<\/p>\n

For
\nthe rest of the UK, away from the warning areas, after a frosty start, today
\nshould stay mostly dry with some sunshine, but there could be isolated wintry
\nflurries and a risk of icy surfaces. <\/p>\n

Maximum temperatures this afternoon
\nwill range between around 2-6C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snow showers, ice warnings, thunderstorms: Your early morning forecastpublished at 07:04 GMT 07:04 GMT Sarah Keith-LucasWeather presenter Thursday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-150023","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
