Warm Spell Ends: UK Eyes Hill Snow as New England Tracks Monday Rain‑to‑Snow Flip

Forecasters highlight elevation‑driven, marginal accumulations with a brief return to wintry conditions that may slow the Monday commute.

Overview

  • After a sunny, mild Saturday, the Met Office forecasts a cooler north‑westerly flow early next week bringing lower temperatures, unsettled weather and hill snow in northern areas with brisk winds and possible coastal gales.
  • The greatest UK snow risk is flagged for higher ground in the Scottish Highlands and northern Scotland, the Lake District and Pennines, North Wales mountains and exposed uplands in Northern Ireland.
  • Met Office guidance points to a midweek cold plunge, with daytime highs dropping to single digits Celsius and a chance of snow reaching lower levels in northern Scotland later Wednesday.
  • In New England, local meteorologists expect scattered showers Sunday, then widespread rain Sunday night changing to a wet rain‑snow mix Monday morning, with any meaningful accumulation favored north and west of urban centers.
  • WMUR projects 3–6 inches in parts of northern New Hampshire, while southern and lower‑elevation areas largely see slushy coatings and mainly wet roads, consistent with WCVB’s emphasis on melting‑on‑contact snow and a possible slow Monday commute.
