When and where weather forecasters predict snowfall Oldham

Weather forecasters at the Met Office have predicted March to begin with a morning of snowfall, and with no rain anticipated to fall beforehand, it could stick.

For two hours from 8am till 10am tomorrow (March 1), meteorologists forecasted it to be one degrees during those hours, but as it rises to two degrees and three degrees during the day that snow may turn to sleet.

The Met Office said in tomorrow's prediction for the whole of the North West: "Breezy with rain and snow moving north during the morning. The snow may bring disruption in places, mainly over higher ground.

"Drier conditions spreading north later and winds easing. Cold. Maximum temperature six degrees."

While its outlook for Saturday through to Monday read: "A changeable weekend with showers possible at times, wintry over higher ground but also brighter spells. Winds easing with overnight frosts.

"Dry at first on Monday, wetter and windier later."

As forecasters predict snow to fall across the borough tomorrow, "hill snow" may be seen earlier by those those higher up in Saddleworth.

In its prediction for tonight's weather, again in the North West, the Met Office said: "A few heavy showers this evening, mainly across Cumbria. Otherwise, clear spells developing and turning frosty with perhaps some icy patches.

"Rain and hill snow arriving by the morning. Cold. Minimum temperature -2 degrees."

Meanwhile, today Oldhamers can expect a cloudy day with rain holding off and a high of seven degrees for an hour at 3pm.
