UK snow maps show seven cities in England will be hit with flurries tomorrow. Cold health alerts and Met Office yellow warnings come into force on Sunday and last into the coming week and temperatures will be much lower than the mid-November average by day along with some very cold and frosty nights.

Snow could be particularly disruptive for parts of northern England, North Wales and the Midlands into Tuesday morning. In England big cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, Stoke, Nottingham, Hull, York and Leeds could see disruption as the wintry blast arrives with a vengeance tomorrow.

The Met Office is forecasting sleet and snow is most likely to fall over higher ground such as the Pennines. It warns there is a small chance of power cuts, disruption to bus and train services, and travel delays for drivers on the roads. Meanwhile a separate UKHSA yellow alert - ranking as the second lowest of four alert levels - is in force for the next few days. It covers a large area of England, north of Northhampton.

It is triggered when there is a risk that healthcare services might face extra pressure and is designed to prepare those who are "particularly vulnerable" and "likely to struggle to cope". The current BBC outlook for Tuesday to Thursday reads: "Snow clearing the north and east on Tuesday morning but north-eastern coasts will see further snow showers and strong winds.

"Wednesday and Thursday will continue windy along the coasts with scattered snow showers for far northern Scotland and most North and Irish Sea coasts, some possibly drifting into the south-west. Staying dry and largely bright inland. Cold throughout."

Up to 20cm (8in) of snow is possible on higher ground and 10cm (4in) at lower levels, the forecasters have gone on to warn ahead of the shift in conditions.
