THE Met office has given a warning that Thurrock could be hit be heavy snow over the weekend, with the main period being from 3am tomorrow Saturday, 16 January) to 8pm.

A yellow warning for the region has been given.

It says: "An area of rain will move eastwards through Saturday and is likely to turn to snow as this runs into cold air over east and southeast England.

"Snow is likely to fall to low levels on the leading edge of the rain area before snow levels gradually rise for many from the west. East Anglia and parts of Kent and Sussex look most at risk of seeing snow for longest.

"One to three cm of snow may fall fairly widely over these areas with five to 10 cm possible in places, mostly over parts of East Anglia and any higher ground.

"Given recent wet weather and high river levels with rain and snow falling, then melting some flooding impacts are also possible."
