Lanarkshire prepares for more snow as Met Office issues yellow warning

Hamilton could be set for more snowfall as forecasters issued another weather warning.

Areas in Lanarkshire woke up to the white stuff this morning as temperatures dropped overnight.

And the Met Office is anticipating some persistent snow showers to descend on north eastern, southern and central areas of Scotland from early Friday morning.

The yellow warning covers most of Lanarkshire with some areas expected to be hit worse than others. Around 20cm of snow could accumulate in some parts of the country.

Temperatures in Hamilton are expected to drop to one degree Celsius tonight with a high chance of snow in the early hours of the morning, potentially lasting to around midday.

Snow is expected to arrive from the east and locals are urged to take care on the roads as the wintry weather could result in difficult driving conditions.

A forecast from the Met Office reads: “Increasing cloud will bring outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow westward overnight, snow becoming confined to higher ground towards dawn.

“[Friday] Rain, sleet and hill snow will turn patchy through the morning. Becoming mostly dry by early afternoon, but further rain or showers in the evening. Maximum temperature four degrees Celsius.”
