    Snow is expected to fall in some parts of the country tomorrow (Thursday, November 9) and Friday (November 10) – and weather forecasters reckon more of the white stuff will come next week.

    A weather system bringing patches of heavy rain and snow will move across the UK from Ireland tomorrow. The Met Office said people can expect "blustery showers" with "heavy and thundery downpours", primarily in the west of the country.

    Advanced weather modelling maps from WX Charts show snow falling in the Lake District and surrounding areas from Thursday evening into Friday morning. Snow is expected to fall at a rate of around 5cm per hour, with 2cm settling on the ground.

    The north-east, north-west, Wales and parts of the south-west are all expected to see heavy rain. Data from WX Charts suggests rain could fall at a rate of around 7.5mm per hour on Thursday and Friday.

    Netweather's Ian Simpson expects more snow and rain to follow next week. In his forecast for November 13 to November 19, he writes: "This week will continue the unsettled theme, but with some changes, as low pressure will tend to be centred to the north-west of the British Isles.

    "This will bring predominantly south-westerly winds, especially to southern and eastern Britain, and thus temperatures will mostly be above the seasonal average.

    "Northern Ireland, plus the north and west of Scotland, will often lie to the north of the polar front and thus will experience colder weather at times, though with temperatures typically not far below the long-term normal, with snow generally restricted to high ground.

    "At times, lows will slide eastwards across the country, bringing wet weather to much of England and Wales, while during spells of south-westerly winds, it will be north-western Britain that will be wettest."

    It comes after Exacta Weather forecaster James Madden warned we could see "at least one or two notable wintry blasts from late November and into the first half of December".
