Weather forecast for the week ahead in Lancashire as cold snap hits county
Lancashire can expect a chilly week ahead as temperatures plummet to lows of -4C.
A yellow weather warning for snow and ice is set to end at 10pm on Tuesday, but temperatures are still set to remain cold.
The county is set to see sunny periods this week, but occasional wintry flurries and snow showers are likely at times.
Dan Suri, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “An area of low pressure slides its way eastwards on Monday night.
“The associated frontal system, marking the boundary between cold air in the north and milder conditions to the south, will bring disruptive snow to some areas between Monday evening and Tuesday morning.
“This is likely to coincide with rush hour, leading to disruption to some transport routes across a central swathe of the UK on Tuesday morning. It will also be windy in the far south.
“Updates to the warnings throughout the week are likely, so it is important to stay up to date with the latest forecast.”
