Rain is forecast to last for most of Sunday in St Helens, with the chance of light snow showers overnight.
This will be followed by two largely dry but cold days on Monday and Tuesday with more light snow predicted for Wednesday when temperatures will struggle to get much above zero.
It's then thought that moister milder weather will spread to the area from Thursday.
