THE Met Office has issued an amber warning covering parts of Devon suggesting 10cm of snow or more could fall through to 9am tomorrow morning.

In the warning, the Met Office says: "Outbreaks of sleet or snow will affect parts of southwest England and South Wales during Tuesday, extending to other parts of southern England and the south Midlands later.

"Where rain or sleet is currently falling, this is expected to turn increasingly to snow during this afternoon and evening, even at low levels. Some 2-5 cm of snow is likely in places with 10 cm or more within the amber warning area and on high ground. This could be locally 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.

The public should be aware of possible disruption to transport."

Exeter is included in the area covered by the warning as is much of East and Mid Devon.
