A spokesman for the Exeter-based Met Office said the public "should be aware of possible disruption to transport".
"Where rain or sleet is currently falling, this is expected to turn increasingly to snow during this afternoon and evening, even at low levels," he said.
"Some 2-5cm (0.8-2ins) of snow is likely in places with 10cm (4ins) or more within the amber warning area and on high ground.
"This could be locally heavy and fall in a short period of time, perhaps just a few hours.
"The risk extends towards the northeast of the warning area later in the period and persists overnight."

“I don't listen to the doom-mongering met men.
In the absence of any seaweed, I'll just look out of the window and SEE what the weather is up to.”
