# Met Office Issues Extended Weather Warnings for 33 Areas – Complete List
The Met Office has issued fresh weather alerts for snow and ice, aiming to inform residents in 33 areas of potential hazards. These warnings will remain in effect for 14 hours, commencing from Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
The latest forecast indicates that "ice will develop fairly widely on Wednesday night into Thursday morning, with partially thawed lying snow refreezing readily." Additionally, some areas in Orkney and northeast Scotland will face wintry showers that will gradually move eastward. Meanwhile, a new wave of mainly light rain, sleet, and snow is expected to approach from the west.
In terms of strong winds, Storm Goretti could bring a brief period of exceptionally powerful northwesterly winds to the Isles of Scilly and parts of Cornwall on Thursday evening. Peak gusts could reach 80-90 mph in exposed areas, contingent upon the track of Storm Goretti. If the low-pressure system shifts further south, the likelihood of immense winds would diminish.
