SNOW is set to hit the UK by next week - as Brits brace for 60mph gusts and floods from TOMORROW.

       Torrential downpours and localised flooding could cut off towns across the north of England and south west of Scotland from midnight tonight.

       Meanwhile, WX weather charts show a rise in the likelihood of snow across parts of Scotland on November 3.

       Snow remains a risk until next Thursday - when heavy rain and high winds move in once again.

       A yellow weather warning stretching from Cumbria to Carlisle warns of "fast flowing" and "deep" flood water in homes and businesses - which could shut down public transport.

       The Met Office warns there is a chance "that some communities will become cut off" entirely by the water levels.

       Meanwhile, a second warning which covers Wigtown to Langholm threatens longer journey times and flooding from "heavy rain".

       This warning is in place from midnight tonight - and is set to last through to 9pm.

       It is set to follow a week of half term weather chaos - with the week-long holiday kicking off from yesterday.

       Heavy rainfall with thunder and hail is likely to hit some parts of the country with the west experiencing the heaviest and most frequent showers.

       The remaining parts of the UK will see sunshine for the most part although there could be some showers too.

       With half-term in full swing, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution warned families to consider the dangers ahead during the school break.

       Lisa Hollingum, RNLI Water Safety Delivery Support said: "With the best of the weather behind us for the year, we’re asking those visiting the coast and inland waterways this half-term to consider the dangers.

       "Over the coming months, sea and lake conditions will become rougher and more unpredictable which brings many additional dangers.

       "Large waves will break on the shoreline which increases the risk of people being swept off their feet, along with coastal erosion causing cliff falls making some areas more dangerous."

       Meanwhile, Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin warned that there could be "persistent rain for a number of days" across the UK this week.
