Region braced for wild weather
Saturday 17th January 2009, 10:15AM GMT.
Shropshire and Mid Wales were today braced for gales and downpours as a wild weather system sweeps in from the Atlantic.
A band of low pressure is expected to arrive by this afternoon, bringing gusts of up to 90mph in western areas.
Elsewhere, heavy rain is likely to make the day a washout for many, and those heading for the hills are being warned of snow showers.
John Warner, Shropshire Star weatherman, said the county could expect gusts of up to 60mph this afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to drop to 1C (34F) tonight and only reach 3C or 4C (37F-39F) tomorrow.
Mr Warner said: “It will be cold and windy tomorrow with wintry showers over low ground and snow on the hills.”
There could also be a possibility of thunder snow – thunder and snow at the same time – in parts of the UK on Monday.
