"Where rain or sleet is currently falling, this is expected to turn increasingly to snow during this afternoon and evening, even at low levels," said the Met Office in its latest warning.
"Some 2cm to 5 cm of snow is likely in places, with 10cm or more within the amber warning area and on high ground.
"This could be heavy and fall in a short period of time, perhaps just a few hours. The risk extends towards the northeast of the warning area later in the period and persists overnight."
