A Met Office warning for snow and ice has been issued for central and southern parts of England this week.

A yellow weather warning will come into force at 9pm tonight (Monday) until 10am tomorrow, but narrowly misses parts of Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight.

Some sleet and snow showers have been predicted to fall on the Island sometime on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Met Office said:

"A band of rain will edge southwards through the course of Monday evening and early Tuesday, this rain turning to snow on hills and perhaps to lower levels in places. Many areas will see little or no accumulations of snow, but 1 to 2 cm could settle in some spots, most likely over high ground and southern parts of the warning area.

"The rain and snow is then expected to turn light and patchy as it slowly clears southern England on Tuesday. As skies clear overnight, ice is also likely to form readily on untreated surfaces."

Meanwhile, the IW Met Service said, although temperatures will be low, any chance of snow for the Island is unlikely.
