A WARNING for snow showers has been released for parts of Sussex.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of snow which could see parts of the east of the county hit by the white stuff.

Brighton and Hove look set to miss out completely, as does the west of the county.

The alert comes into force at 6pm and is valid until 10am on Saturday.

Some disruption to transport is possible as well as slippery conditions on roads and pavements.

The Met Office's chief forecaster said: "Sleet and snow showers will feed into parts of Kent and perhaps Sussex during Friday evening and overnight into Saturday.

"These may align for a time to bring a small area of more persistent snow with some accumulations.

"Many parts, however, will see little or no cover, and and where it falls it is likely to melt through Saturday."
