A yellow warning for snow has been put in place for the Strathclyde region.
The Met Office has said that forecasted rain will likely turn to snow during Wednesday and overnight into Thursday.
Disruption is expected on the roads and rails with a few centimetres of wet snow predicted to accumulate. For the areas purely hit by rain, a warning is in place for surface water flooding.
North and South Lanarkshire and East Renfrewshire are predicted to be the hardest hit.
The Met Office has warned locals to expect:
- Possible travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers
- Possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel
- Some rural communities could become cut off
- Power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected
If flooding does occur, SEPA says you should:
- Check Floodline. If you've received a message from Floodline, visit sepa.org.uk/floodupdates for the full update. More details are often provided like the cause of flooding and the types of areas that will be affected.
- Charge your mobile phone.
- Move vehicles out of the flood risk area.
- Move important documents and valuable items to a higher place.
- Shut off gas, electricity and water supplies and fit any flood protection products to your property.
- Check on vulnerable and elderly neighbours.
