Stirling set for more snow as Met Office issues weekend weather warning

Stirling looks set for more snow this weekend after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning.

Forecasters say that a band of rain and heavy snow may lead to travel disruption.

The warning is in place for both Stirling and Clackmannanshire from midnight tonight until 6pm on Saturday.

Residents are being told to expect the possibility of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.

There is also a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affecte. A small chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces is also possible.

Underfoot conditions may become dangerous as a result of the freezing conditions.

A Met Office forecaster said: "An area of rain pushing eastwards is expected to turn to snow in places. Snow is likely to fall to low levels over east Scotland and northern England for a time on the leading edge of the rain before the snow level rises to above 300-400m by mid-morning. 1-3 cm is possible at low levels here but is more likely at higher elevations where 5-10 cm of snow may accumulate above 200m and possibly 20cm on highest routes.

"Icy stretches are also likely with rain and wet snow falling onto sub zero surfaces at times. Further south the most likely scenario is for rain though there is a small chance of snow falling down to 150m or so leading to 2-5cm in places."

Parts of Stirling area woke to heavy snowfall on Thursday morning and a number of rural routes were closed at times due to the conditions.
