North Wales could see small amounts of snow this week according to BBC Weather and WX Charts. 

The weather forecast has been released for the week by the BBC, revealing exactly when it is going to snow in parts of North Wales.

The Leader reported last Friday (November 24) that maps from WX Charts showed up to 10cm per hour of snow was due to fall in parts of Wales.

The weather forecaster is still predicting lighter snowfalls for parts of North Wales including Wrexham, Flintshire and Conwy.

Not only could there be snow, but temperatures in some locations - including Wrexham - will fall to as low as -4.

But BBC Weather said while snowfalls are possible, there was "a lot more uncertainty than normal".

Lead BBC Weather presenter and meteorologist Simon King said: "It's going to be a cold week with temperatures only around 2 to 7 degrees Celsius - which is below the average for the time of year."

He added: "With a cold north easterly wind, snow showers will come into northern and eastern areas of the UK and while this will mostly be over high ground, there's a chance that there could be snow to low levels for a time.

"There's also a small possibility of getting some sleet or snow to southern areas of the UK later in the week too.

"Forecasting snow in the UK, in December is actually really tricky. Being an island, it's typically not quite cold enough and we still have a battle between milder tropical air and colder Arctic air.

"While we still have the battle of the air masses, how much rain that turns into sleet or snow is always a difficult forecast to make."

When will it snow in North Wales this week?

WX Charts predicts there will be snowfalls of under 1cm per hour for parts of Wrexham on Wednesday (November 29) and Sunday (December 3).

While the map shows parts of Conwy could get see the heaviest snowfalls in North Wales of around 2 - 3cm per hour on Saturday (December 2).
