The Met Office has issued an update on a potential White Christmas, revealing there is a chance of "wintry showers" this festive season. <\/p>\n

Members of the public could be in for a snowy end to the year with flurries of snow across northern areas of the country expected by the end of this week and over the weekend. Should showers continue, there could be snow on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

It comes as a Met Office update confirmed there was some "uncertainty" around whether the weather would continue with much, if any, consistency.<\/p>\n

Though a snowy period could be set to hit Brits this holiday season, it is unlikely the snow will lie due to a number of reasons, including rainy showers before any potential snow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "As we head towards the end of next week and the festive period there is, as always, more uncertainty in the forecast.<\/p>\n

"However, there are indications that by the end of next week we could see high pressure moving further south and west away from the UK, allowing northwesterly winds to develop at times. This would allow some short periods where colder air affects the UK, with the potential for wintry showers in northern areas."<\/p>\n

Further indications of "drier spells" were issued by Met Office expert Matthew Lehnert, who says some rain could be expected in parts of the UK, The Sun reported. One yellow weather warning is currently in place for the UK on Thursday this week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Expert Lehnert said: " Into early next week, this weather front will move slowly south and bring some rain to the remainder of the UK.<\/p>\n

"As the front clears south, temperatures will return to near average. It will remain changeable through midweek, with the best of any prolonged drier spells in the south and east."<\/p>\n

A potentially White Christmas comes as the Daily Star warned Brits could be at risk of "widespread snow" in the coming days. Whether the snow sticks around is yet to be seen. <\/p>\n
