Glasgow weather: snow and ice forecast as multiple warnings issued by Met Office

Glasgow looks set to be hit by snow and ice tomorrow and into Monday after the Met Office issued two separate weather warnings for the city.

The Yellow warnings, which take in the whole of Strathclyde, come into force from 3am tomorrow (December 27) until 10am and from 6pm until 10am on Monday morning.

The UK's national weather service warns that "icy surfaces are likely in many parts, with snow cover mainly in western Scotland, bringing difficult travel conditions" tomorrow morning. 

Following that they also warn that "an area of rain, sleet and snow will move south through Sunday night with the potential for icy surfaces and some travel disruption".

As well as Glasgow, surrounding areas such as North and South Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire are also covered by the warning.

People in these areas are being advised to take care to avoid slipping and falling if using any untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, with drivers and people using public transport also warned to expect longer journey times than normal due to the inclement weather.

The full alert reads: "A band of rain, sleet and snow followed by wintry showers will move south across Scotland and Northern Ireland on Sunday evening and into parts of northern England and north Wales early on Monday morning.

"Localised accumulations of 1-3 cm are possible to lower levels but higher accumulations are likely over higher ground. Above 250 metres, accumulations of 5-10 cm are possible.

"Whilst skies are expected to clear from the north overnight, icy patches are likely to develop and persist through to Monday morning."
