The sudden change in weather conditions is thanks to an Arctic cold blast hitting America, teamed with tropical air in the south which propels and strengthens the jet stream as it moves eastwards across the Atlantic and towards the UK.
The intense weather change is fortunately not likely to last as senior meteorologist at British Weather Services, Jim Dale, told : “Obviously higher ground takes the main load.
“Northern, Welsh and Midlands are set to see snow this Saturday.
“Elsewhere 1-3 cm, but again mainly above 600ft. It won’t, however, persist.”
He added: “The vigorous jet stream will very likely mean fast moving situations, moving from one regime of weather to the next.”
The weather map also sees an arctic blast setting in come Monday January 27 indicating an icy start for the new week.
As of Friday, Storm Éowyn is expected to move across the northwest of the UK and will intensify as the weekend progresses.
This major weather system will bring west to southwesterly winds and will have widespread gusts of 60–70 mph inland.
