Liverpool set for heavy rain despite missing Met Office weather warning

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice for large parts of the country tomorrow, but despite missing out on the warning Liverpool is still set for some wintry weather.

Heavy snow is forecast for vast swathes of the UK, but on Merseyside we're not due to see any blizzards.

However there is some heavy rain forecast, which could affect your ability to get out for your daily walk.

Heavy showers are forecast for Saturday morning until lunchtime, when it should start to dry up.

But temperatures are set to be much higher than we've been used to lately, with highs of eight degrees predicted.

Sunday will be a drier day with light cloud and a moderate breeze with sunny spells possible later into the afternoon.

The Met Office forecast for the North West said: "Friday night will be dry at first, but a band of rain will arrive from the west giving persistent rainfall overnight, potentially turning wintry even to low levels briefly. Cold, with winds strengthening. Minimum temperature -4 °C.

"On Saturday overnight rain and mainly hill snow will clear eastwards by midday leaving some showers behind. Brightening up later though and dry overnight. Risk of ice continues. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

"Dry with sunny spells Sunday, but with night time showers.

"Dry with sunny spells again Monday, but outbreaks of rain, perhaps heavy, will arrive during the evening and continue Tuesday."
