Heavy snow could be coming to Worcester by the middle of next week with some forecasts showing the city right in the eye of the storm.

Worcester could get heavy snow as soon as next Wednesday, some Met Office forecasts suggest, as cold air from the north collides with warmer air from the Atlantic by the middle of next week.

The 'most likely' models show Worcestershire, including Worcester, Malvern, Evesham, Pershore and Droitwich, getting the heaviest snowfall next Wednesday.

The Met Office forecasts show cold air approaching from the north on Friday which pushes down until it covers the whole of the UK by Sunday, meaning a chilly weekend in store.

This weather front is expected to bring cold, gusty northerly winds from Sunday and, potentially patchy rain and hill snow in places with possibly 'serious dumps' of snow in Scotland.

A low pressure system coming towards the UK from the Atlantic, bringing moisture, will interact with the cold air over the UK which could cause heavy snow.

The boundary between the two weather systems will decide where the snow falls and European and American models indicate different scenarios.

The Met Office weatherman said the 'most likely scenario' was that the snow would fall across England and Wales.

Although stressing there was 'still a lot of uncertainty', he said: "That is the most likely scenario for some significant and potentially disruptive snow at this stage."

A spokesman for the Met Office said: "Things will turn colder again over the weekend. Next week could see some more widespread and potentially heavy snow but details at this range are uncertain."
