A yellow warning of snow and ice is in place for Cornwall on Saturday, however the worst conditions are likely to affect higher ground.

The warning is in place from 3am on Saturday morning until noon Saturday, with a band of rain, sleet and snow spreading across the area on Saturday morning.

Two to four centimetres of snow are likely in places above 200m, with the risk of temporary local accumulations to low levels. Icy patches may form, especially on untreated surfaces.

The public should be aware of the risk of some difficult driving conditions.

The return to chilly conditions are due to a weak occluded front moving east, with "associated precipitation falling into air which has cooled during the preceding night to bring a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow".
