Scotland Weather: Snow and ice to blanket Central Belt as Met Office issue new weather warning
Scotland is bracing for more snow and ice as a yellow weather warning has been issued.
The Met Office has issued a further yellow warning to begin on Tuesday as more snow is expected to fall in Scotland.
While the north of Scotland has been warned of "further disruption", the central belt and below has also been given a new snow and ice warning which will last from 12am until 11am on Tuesday.
It is expected that some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. The Met Office also warned of possible injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces - with some icy patches expected to form on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
The warning reads: “An area of mainly light snow will move east across southern Scotland into northern England on Tuesday morning before largely fading and clearing during Tuesday afternoon.
“A few heavier bursts are possible over the Southern Uplands, the Lake District and the northern Pennines.”
Where does the yellow weather warning cover?
In Scotland, the warning covers a large area of the Central Belt and below including Falkirk, Fife, Stirling, Dumfries and Galloway, Lothians, Borders, Ayrshire, Argyll and Bute and Renfrewshire.
Glasgow and Edinburgh are also both covered by the weather warning.
