The Met Office has put in place a yellow weather warning for snow and ice for Pembrokeshire, valid from midday tomorrow (Wednesday) and throughout Thursday.
Ice is then likely in parts overnight and into Thursday morning.
Pembrokeshire County Council’s Winter Maintenance Teams will be assessing and treating primary routes as required.
Multiple Met Office Yellow National Severe Weather Warnings for ice and snow have been issued for the coming days, covering parts of Wales.
Met Office Chief Forecaster Neil Armstrong said: “Cold Arctic air from the north is firmly in charge of the UK’s weather, bringing the first notable cold snap of this autumn and giving an early taste of winter weather.
“As a result, winter hazards are likely through the next few days, with snow and ice a particular hazard, and the coldest conditions likely on Wednesday and Thursday.
“Wintry showers will affect areas exposed to the brisk northerly wind, in particular Northern Ireland, southwest Wales, southwest England, northeast England and across the northern half of Scotland.
“Whilst not all places will see lying snow, where showers are most frequent accumulations of 2-5 cm will be possible.”
In addition to snow, ice will be an ongoing hazard, particularly overnight in the coming days.
