SNOW is now unlikely to fall in Dorset this weekend, forecasters say.

The Met Office had initially warned that the county could be affected by snow on Sunday into Monday.

However, the updated forecast says that is now not likely.

A weather warning does remain in place and temperatures are set to remain low.

It is for snow and ice and is valid until 12pm on Saturday, warning of icy conditions, with snow possible on high ground, but chiefly over Wales and the moors of south west England.

On Sunday, there was a warning in place for rain for Bournemouth and wider Dorset, as well as Wiltshire. It was in place from 8am on Sunday until 3am on Monday.

However, at around 10am this morning the Met Office cancelled the warning.
