This is the latest forecast for when or if snow will fall across East Lancashire this week, after a weather warning was issued over the weekend.

Two warnings are in place for the region from Tuesday until Thursday, as temperatures dip and winter bites.

The warnings, issued on Sunday, warn of heavy snow and low temperatures with windy conditions making it feel below freezing in much of the region, and the threat of snow.

The Met Office said heavy snow could hit Blackburn and other parts of the area on Tuesday morning, but this has since been updated in forecasts.

Light snow is forecast in Blackburn between 8am and 10am on Tuesday, January 17, with a further chance of sleet and light snow in the early hours of Wednesday and overnight Thursday into Friday

Temperatures look set to dip below freezing overnight and barely climb above through the day, but with 11 to 14mph winds forecast it'll feel more like -4 or -5 degrees Celsius, and even colder through the night.

It's much the same picture in Darwen, with light snow predicted from 8am to 11am on Tuesday, potentially heavy snow early on Wednesday and light snow late on Thursday.

In Accrington there is light snow forecast tomorrow, turning to sleet in the afternoon, with another chance of snow on Wednesday and Thursday, while in Burnley it's a similar outlook, but with sleet more of a expectation than snow.

Tuesday to Thursday in Colne, snow looks more likely than in other areas, heavy at times, while the outlook in Clitheroe is similar to most other towns.

The Met Office said: "Snow showers will continue to feed inland early on Tuesday morning across northern and western Scotland, parts of Wales and northwest England where two to five centimetres of snow is possible over a few hours in some places.

"During the day, an area of more organised rain, sleet and snow is likely to move east with further showers following.

"There is still some uncertainty in the track of more prolonged snow, and it is possible that at lower elevations across Wales and northern England, this could turn to rain for a time.

"However, there is a chance some places could see five to 10cm, perhaps 20cm of snow, particularly across the northern half of Scotland and over higher ground elsewhere."

Possible delays on the roads and motorists being left stranded, potential impacts to rail and air travel, potential power cuts, and a risk of injury due to slips and falls.
