“Warnings for wintry hazards, including snow and ice, are possible, so it’s important to stay up to date with the latest forecast.” 

A cold weather alert has been issued for the county by the UK Health Security Agency. 

As well as the cold weather the Met Office has also warned that gale force winds could hit the county on Saturday. 

Areas including Southwold, Aldeburgh and Lowestoft could see winds of up to 58mph on Saturday.
