It will become more widespread as the afternoon progresses, with snow expected in the Newtown area and in the north of the country. Monday night and into Tuesday morning are predicted to see more snow, before things become calmer for most later on Tuesday. Update Monday, Jan 6: The Met Office has now significantly updated its forecast.
However, according to the maps, most of south Wales could see heavy snow by Wednesday afternoon. The area covered on the map includes Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Cardiff and the vast majority of the south of the country. This snow is shown continuing throughout Wednesday afternoon and into Wednesday evening, eventually clearing in the west of the country but continuing to fall in the east.
