Glasgow weather: Met Office issues ice warning for city amid Storm Eunice

A fresh weather warning for ice has been issued for Glasgow and the wider Strathclyde area.

The Met Office yellow warning comes into force at 6pm tonight (February 18) and remains in place until 9am tomorrow morning.

It warns of "a mixture of wintry showers and clear spells are likely to lead to a cold night with some icy stretches developing on untreated surfaces".

The Met Office added: "Brisk northwesterly winds will continue to bring increasingly wintry showers across this area overnight on Friday and at first on Saturday.

"Some snow is likely to accumulate over around 200 m (another 10-15 cm over Scottish Mountains), but the wintry mix is more likely to bring a risk of icy roads and pavements, as surfaces left wet by showers (or hail/snow/slush) then fall below freezing. Most showers will ease by Saturday morning."

As a result of the icy conditions, The Met Office advise to expect the possibility of some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths as well as some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
