Flash Flood Warning As Snow Thaws.
Forecasters have warned of flash flooding as Britons brace themselves for the latest phase of winter weather chaos.
While the snow flurries were moving north up to Scotland, temperatures were expected to rise across the rest of the UK.
weather presenter Sarah Pennock, warning of heavy rain on Friday, said: “We wouldn’t normally expect a thaw to cause significant flooding.
“But with a sudden rise in temperature, and some heavy downpours, we could see some local flash flooding.
“Particularly at risk are those places that have several inches of lying snow in northwestern and central parts.”

But temperatures are due to rise to the seasonal average of 7C (45F) by the end of the week.
