Forecasters warn of snow overnight in Wales

Snow and sub-zero temperatures are expected to make a return to Wales overnight.

Forecasters predict a band of rain, sleet and snow will push up from south Wales after midnight on Thursday.

The Met Office is warning of between 8 and 12cm (3-5in) in some areas, but snow showers will be heaviest in Powys and southern counties.

Temperatures in many areas will fall close to freezing or below and many will wake up to snow or frost.

BBC Wales weather presenter Behnaz Akhgar said: "Thursday night is one to watch out for as heavy snow will be spreading up from the south.

"Sleet and snow will spread in from the south during the early hours of Friday morning.

"Temperatures in many areas will fall close to freezing or below with a widespread frost."

Rain, sleet and snow will continue to move northwards through the morning, but by the afternoon will mostly be falling as rain.

The weekend forecast is better: patchy cloud with occasional showers and dry spells with blustery winds that will ease later on Sunday.

Temperatures will remain cold until at least Monday.
