As the big chill takes hold, the Met Office is warning of the possibility of snow in the St Albans area.

There is a chance that we may see some light snowfall on Tuesday afternoon next week, according to the latest Met Office forecast. Today, temperatures are expected to be about average for this time of year - with a maximum temperature 8 °C.

We are likely to get some bright or sunny spells, and a few light showers are possible.

The Met office predicts it will be a clear night tonight with “temperatures falling, allowing for patchy frost or fog to develop by dawn. Minimum temperature -2 °C”.

Tomorrow, Thursday, starts to feel colder.

The Met Office states: “Largely dry with sunny spells.

“Feeling a little colder with temperatures down a degree or two from Wednesday.”
