AS TEMPERATURES drop, naturally comes the question of whether we will be seeing snow over the next few days.

The cold weather this week has seen temperatures fall well below 0C across the south, with a yellow weather warning issued across Hampshire this weekend.

You will want to wrap up warm on Saturday, as temperatures are not forecast to exceed 3C all day. 

A yellow warning for snow and ice has already been issued for Basingstoke across the weekend, meaning heavy snow, and some freezing rain in places, may cause some disruption over the weekend.

As we approach the end of the week, the Met Office shows that on Saturday evening, Basingstoke is forecast to have sleet between 6pm and 10pm - including a period of heavy snow at 7pm.

Temperatures will pick up again on Sunday, as high as 14C, although this increase will be short-lived as temperatures drop again on Monday.

Sunday is forecast to see rain all day, with winds likely to reach around 40mph.
