The alerts are in force from Friday afternoon through to Sunday
Last updated 22nd Jan 2021
West Sussex could see snow and ice as a weather warning goes out across the weekend for the county.
The Met Office has issued two yellow alerts which span the weekend.
The first, which comes into effect at 4pm on Friday (January 22nd) and lasts until 10.30am on Saturday, covers the whole of the county.
That's followed by one from 3am to 6pm on Sunday which is in effect for the vast majority of West Sussex, with the exception of southern areas such as Bognor, Selsey and communities on the Manhood Peninsula.
Forecasters say a band of rain will turn readily to snow as it spreads eastwards leading to possible transport disruption.
What to expect
Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services with the potential for some roads to become blocked on higher level routes
Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
Here's what the Met Office is saying:
"An area of rain will cross the west and southwest of the country on Sunday morning and turn readily to snow as it spreads eastwards, and also lead to some icy surfaces.
"Mainly 1-3 cm of snow accumulation for most parts, but possibly 5-10 cm over 100 m with a small possibility of 10-15 cm over high ground for example on Dartmoor, the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia.
"These snow amounts will cause some disruption to transport, especially on routes that cross even modest high ground."
