The Met Office is also warning that snow could descend on the county during the weekend.

"We could see an inch, which although doesn't sound a lot, is falling on already very wet ground."

“BBC weather show hardly any rain next week for anywhere in Gloucestershire. Metcheck showing light rain / sleet Sunday night into Monday morning, but not a lot else.
Lot of guessing going on, methinks. And some backside covering too.”
