\u201cThere is scope for more heavy rain over areas which have been affected over the past few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Met Office forecaster Helen Chivers added: \u201cMuch of the UK will be cooler, bright and breezy with sunny spells and scattered showers, these will be heavy with thunder and hail and wintry over the higher ground in Scotland and the far north of England.<\/p>\n
\u201cRain across the south is expected to spread north again over the weekend as a low pressure system passes to the west\/northwest of Britain.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is considerable uncertainty around the timing and details of just how wet and windy it will be, as the weather models are not in agreement on how this weather system will develop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Britain is still reeling from Storm Desmond which unleashed havoc at the weekend toppling trees and leaving thousands of homes without power.<\/p>\n
Transport systems were thrown into chaos after \u201cunprecedented\u201d rainfall with the fourth named storm of the season expected to have claimed several lives.<\/p>\n
The Environment Agency (EA) has issued 22 flood alerts and sic more serious flood warnings across northern, central and western regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge people not drive through flood water\u201d<\/p>\n
With stormy weather set to rage through he festive season bookies have started to backtrack on odds for a White Christmas.<\/p>\n
Ladbrokes spokeswoman Jessica Bridge said: \u201cBad news for those dreaming of a White Christmas as the odds are increasing all over the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cSadly the odds of a White Christmas are drifting like a barge and it looks like December 25th may be visited by the sunshine instead.”<\/p>\n
James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said snowfall this weekend is possible as far south as central England.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cRain is likely to turn to snow across higher ground with some significant accumulations becoming likely.<\/p>\n
\u201cSleet and snow showers will develop in northern and western areas and by the weekend the risk increases to parts of Northern England.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven some parts as far south as Central England may be at the risk of some wintry weather or overnight snow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
