Weather warning issued for the Isle of Wight, with threat of ‘a little snow’

The Met Office has issued a weather warning for the Isle of Wight from later today (Wednesday).

Valid from 6pm today to 11am on Thursday the yellow warning for ice reads:

An area of rain is likely to run across the south of England during Wednesday before clearing to the east overnight into Thursday.

This will leave surfaces wet with ice forming rapidly once the rain clears.

There remains some uncertainty over the extent of the rain through Wednesday with the far south most likely to see this.

In addition there is a threat of a little snow falling, mainly above 200 m with some accumulations of 2-3 cm but the majority of places will only see rain.
