There's a chance Maldon district could see a white weekend according to the latest weather warnings issued by the Met Office.

The Met Office map area highlighted for the possible snowfall covers the Maldon district, with the warning time running from midday in Saturday, 6 February to midnight on Sunday, 7 February.

The yellow warning reads: "Cold air, along with snow showers to low levels pushing inland from the North Sea, is expected to spread south during the weekend. In addition to the showers, there is a chance that an extended period of more persistent snowfall could impact parts of the Midlands and southeast England overnight Saturday and through Sunday.

"This is all likely to bring areas of accumulating snow through the period with some icy stretches developing, with some parts seeing 5 to 10 cm, possibly 15 cm of snow.

"Although disruption from this event could occur anywhere within this region, the Midlands and south-east England is the area most likely to see disruptive snow accumulating more widely, from later Saturday until the middle of Sunday."
