WITH the days growing shorter, the temperatures in Worcestershire are beginning to drop, and many are wondering if it could be a sign of things to come?
While the county has seen small flurries of snow in November in previous years, November this year has seen little more overcast skies so far this year.
However, The Weather Lookout has forecast a small chance of snow falling in Worcester for over a week.
There is a 3 per cent chance of snow on Saturday (November 16) rising to as likely as 27 per cent on Thursday, November 21.
- Saturday, November 16: 3 per cent
- Sunday, November 17: 12 per cent
- Monday, November 18: 12 per cent
- Tuesday, November 19: 18 per cent
- Wednesday, November 20: 9 per cent
- Thursday, November 21: 27 per cent
- Friday, November 22: 15 per cent
- Saturday, November 23: 21 per cent
There is currently no forecast beyond November 23, meaning the likelihood of snow may rise even higher towards the end of the month.

The Met Office has said that if snow is to come it won't be for at least a week: "There is no snow in the forecast for Worcestershire at the moment.
"Conditions will turn cooler from the north as we go through to next weekend, but any snow will be confined to the hills over Scotland and the far north of England.
"The indication from our longer range outlook is for more mobility from the west, which would bring snow to places like Worcestershire."
The full forecast for Worcestershire from the Met Office can be viewed on their website.
Looking towards December, thousands will be hoping to wake up on Christmas Day and see the streets blanketed in a sheet of snow.
Sadly, the Met Office are unable to say if we could expect a white Christmas yet: "It is too far ahead to forecast any weather for Christmas, let alone snow."
