The warning comes after the Beast from the East and Storm Emma combined to bring deep snow and blizzards to the UK a fortnight ago.
The Met Office states: “Snow showers are likely to continue throughout Sunday, and where these converge some snow may well accumulate and could then prove disruptive.
“There is a small chance that snow may fall for a longer period across southern, and particularly south eastern regions for a time on Sunday. There is a chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.
“There is a chance that power cuts will occur and services, such as mobile phones, may be affected. There is a small chance that some rural communities could become cut off.”
Weather warnings for snow and ice will be in place from Friday for the East Midlands and North East has temperatures are set to drop well below freezing.
