In his latest forecast, Mr Lewis says: “Outbreaks of rain will eventually reach the county during Wednesday morning, becoming set in for much of the day and turning heavy at times.

“The rain will turn increasingly to snow on Thursday, with the possibility of some significant and disruptive snow for a time during the morning.”
