THE Met Office has issued Leigh with a yellow weather warning for snow and ice.
Experts have said that the conditions could cause disruption to travel in places later Sunday through to Monday morning.
The warning comes into place from 3pm tomorrow (Sunday, January 4) and is in place until midday on Monday (January 5).
Forecasters have warned that some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus, and train services.
There could also be some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces and icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Snow showers are expected to push further inland across Wales, parts of northwest England, the West Midlands and southwest England during Sunday evening.
“Along windward coasts, some rain and sleet is likely, but inland showers will fall as snow.
“Whilst not all locations in the warning area will see snow, 1-3 cm could develop in many places by Monday morning, with the potential for 5-8 cm to build up in a few locations, particularly across inland and higher parts of Wales. Icy stretches are likely to form widely.”
