The weather warning said: “Wintry showers are expected to gradually move south this afternoon, then feeding inland from Irish Sea and North Sea coasts at times this evening and overnight, especially through the Cheshire Gap to affect parts of the Midlands and north Wales. Where these occur 2-5cm of fresh snow is possible, with this most likely on ground above 100m.
“Icy stretches are expected to form on untreated surfaces during Thursday evening and overnight into Friday morning as temperatures drop below freezing, especially following any showers.”
The warning added that residents can expect some roads and railways to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services, icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and paths, as well as a risk of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
