Cold and windy weather hits the UK, but could it snow?

Wintry weather is set to make a comeback across the UK as temperatures dip and blustery winds arrive for some.

The Met Office - the UK's national weather service - has issued two yellow weather warnings which started on Thursday.

Gusts of up to 70mph are forecast in some areas, with warnings in place for large parts of northern England, Scotland, Wales and all of Northern Ireland.

Forecasters also say that the weather will turn colder, with some snow even expected on higher ground.

BBC Weather says the turbulent atmosphere means there could well be some fabulous clouds, along with the odd rainbow.

Forecasters say the windy weather will be felt across much of the UK from.

Although not quite as windy as it was on Thursday, the blustery wind will make it feel chillier.

Some areas, including North Wales, northern England and parts of Scotland, will see the strongest winds, along with heavy rain.

Experts say that travel disruption is expected due to the wind, with bridge restrictions and some delays on the ferry and rail network possible.

After the windy weather, colder air from the Arctic is expected to arrive on Friday.

There are warnings for snow in place across central and north-west Scotland where 2 to 5cm of snow is expected fairly widely, even at lower levels.

There is also the potential for around 10cm in places above about 350 metres.

There could be hail showers and some snow too, mainly on higher ground in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.

Forecasters say more wintry showers could also return later in the weekend.
