Overview
- Met Office alerts for Sunday cover large areas of Scotland and northern England, with 2–5 cm of snow possible at lower levels and 10–20 cm on higher ground as some areas briefly risk freezing rain before a turn to rain.
- An amber warning was issued for parts of Scotland, and National Highways posted a severe weather alert for the North East, warning of elevation‑based accumulations, 40–50 mph gusts on high ground, and black ice during the transition.
- Rail operators report altered services after recent disruption, and power restoration continues after tens of thousands lost electricity during Storm Goretti’s peak.
- In the U.S., forecasters expect a modest Michigan snowfall this weekend—generally 1–4 inches south and 3–5 inches north—while central and western Massachusetts are under a Winter Weather Advisory for pockets of freezing rain with locally light ice accretion.
- Forecast guidance points to a turn to milder, changeable Atlantic conditions next week, meaning snow will give way to rain and increasing flood risk where snowpack persists.
