Parts of Dorset could see some snow and wintry showers tonight.
As Storm Franklin brings strong winds once again to the county, local weather enthusiast Dorset Snow has warned of the possibility of some wintry showers as well.
Issuing a 'wintry watch', he said: "Tonight 11pm-4am as cold air filters in from the north west many places could see some falling sleet or snow tonight.
"This could settle for a time across high ground, but will likely thaw very quickly.
"Weymouth and Portland- you could still see some falling sleet. This is a wintry watch from earlier this winter as I don’t have access to my computer at the moment."

So if you get any snow - enjoy it quickly.
