THE Met Office has issued a yellow warning of snow in Worcestershire.

It says an area of snow is expected to extend northeastwards from parts of Wales across the Midlands, including Worcestershire, and into parts of northern England on this evening and tonight, persisting into Wednesday morning.

Accumulations of between 3-8 cm are likely in places, and perhaps as much as 10-15 cm very locally on high ground.

The snow should ease gradually through Wednesday morning.

The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to transport.
