A weather warning for wind with the possibility of snow and ice as been issued for Dorset.

Issued by The Met Office, the warning is in place from today until 6pm tomorrow (9).

The chief forecaster's assessment reads: "During winter weather which brings snow showers, it is not uncommon for snow amounts to vary considerably across short distances.

"On Friday and Saturday, the snow showers could lead to snow accumulations which vary markedly across the warning area.

"Strong northwest winds may cause drifting of the snow in places with blizzard conditions possible across northern Scotland. This warning has been updated to remove parts of southwestern Scotland from the warning area."
