Forecasters issue 24-hour snow warning for Ayrshire next week

More snow could be on the way to Ayrshire next week, a forecaster has advised.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow for the whole of Tuesday.

Weather experts say that areas could be hit with travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers, with bus and train services potentially delayed or cancelled. Some road closures and longer journey times are also possible.

The Met Office warning reads: "A band of rain, locally heavy in places, is likely to push slowly northeast across Wales and England early Tuesday.

"As this rain comes into contact with cold air in place, it is likely to readily turn to snow away from eastern coastal districts.

"1-4cm of snow is quite likely away from eastern coasts, with 5-10cm possible above about 150 metres and up to 20cm across higher parts of the northern Pennines and Southern Uplands.

"As well as snow, a period of freezing rain is possible for parts of east Wales and the north Midlands.

"Should this occur, widespread icy stretches would form. Snow should turn back to rain from the south, lasting longest across parts of northern England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland."
