Hide AdChris Almond, Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, said: “As well as strong winds, rain will also move south across the country on Friday, with showers following turning increasingly to hill snow in the north.
"This wintry mix of showers will continue on Saturday, and although snow is possible almost anywhere away from the far-south, accumulations are likely to be confined to hills.
It is going to be a windy period with potentially disruptive gales.
"These could cause some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport with a small chance exposed roads and bridges could close.
"There is a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs and damage to temporary structures such as Christmas markets.”
