The UK is likely to experience cold weather conditions this weekend, as temperatures are expected to plummet to a freezing -2C, with chances of snow scattered across several parts of the country. Sharing the weather forecast for the weekend, the Met Office named the areas that could possibly see snow before Sunday.

According to the forecaster, the weekend will bring a mix of cool air and blustery showers of rain, hail, and snow. Areas around Northern Ireland, Northwest England, Northeast England and some parts of Scotland are likely to be buried under the snow, as per the Met Office. Sharing the weather forecast for this evening and tonight, the Met Office said: "Any lingering rain clears the southeast. Clear spells elsewhere with wintry showers. Later, persistent rain and hill snow reach Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. A patchy frost will develop under the clear spells."

For Saturday, it stated: "Sunny spells and showers, some heavy and wintry with hail, hill snow and isolated thunder. More prolonged showers for England and Wales later. Windy and blustery, feeling colder than Friday."

Jo Farrow, a weather expert from Netweather.tv wrote in the blog: "The Icelandic low will be to the north of Scotland and will bring a band of heavier showers, with a wintry mix including hill snow. It will become windy for a time overnight for Scotland and Northern Ireland with the fresh SW winds veering to a cold W/NW. Temperatures will fall away in the north, around -2C to +3C inland.

"Saturday will feel chilly in the wind, with this cool air. There will be bands or clusters of showers with rain and hail and gusty winds. Some areas will miss the showers and continue with bright or sunny spells. Don't be fooled, it will be cold in that wind."
