Glasgow weather warning for snow and ice as temperatures plummet

A weather warning for snow and ice has been issued for Glasgow this Friday.

The Met Office yellow warning will come into effect at midnight on January 7, continuing until 10am, with "frequent sleet and snow showers" which could lead to "some difficult driving conditions and disruption to travel."

It comes as Glasgow has experienced a drop in temperatures following mild weather for much of the previous month.

Today's maximum temperature will be around three degrees, and could drop as low as minus two degrees in the coming days.

A statement from the Met Office reads: "Frequent wintry showers arriving from the west overnight Thursday into Friday are likely to lead to a fresh covering of snow for areas above 200m (mainly around 2-5 cm, possibly as much as 10 cm over highest ground where showers are most frequent).

"Falling snow below this level may cause some temporary slushy accumulations which then may freeze and cause dangerous, icy patches where skies remain clear for long enough. These showers will turn increasingly to rain and sleet at lower levels through Friday morning, before steadily easing from the west through the afternoon ahead of an area of rain and milder conditions."
