Weather warning as “prolonged spell of snow” forecast for north and north-east

People are being warned of further snow in the north and north-east of Scotland as freezing conditions hit the country.

The Met Office has placed a yellow warning for snow across Grampian and the Highlands and Islands from today until tomorrow morning.

The forecaster has warned of a “relatively prolonged spell of snow” across inland regions this evening and overnight and of ice on the roads as a result of sub-zero temperatures.

The Met Office’s chief forecaster said: “Milder air currently across southern Britain is pushing slowly northwards, and the warm front at the leading edge of this milder air will bring outbreaks of rain to some parts here.

“This warm front is expected to stall over parts of Scotland from Sunday evening into the early hours of Monday before returning southwards on Monday.

“As this warm front meets the colder airmass currently over Scotland, associated rain is expected to turn to snow, especially on ground above 200m, and with this front stalling, a relatively prolonged spell of snow is expected for parts of Scotland covered by the yellow area in this warning.

“Some disruptive snow is likely for a time north of northern parts of the central belt. And onshore winds are expected to prevent snow falling in eastern coastal areas.

“Meanwhile, where rain does not turn to snow, there is an additional hazard from rain falling onto sub-zero surfaces to give some icy patches. This is most likely to happen during the first hour or two of rainfall this evening.”
