West Dunbartonshire warned to be prepared for snow

Snow could be on the cards today as Storm Barra sweeps in to West Dunbartonshire.

According to the Met Office, it is set to bring with it a band of rain turning to snow.

It is expected there could be two to five centimetres accumulating with even more on higher ground.

The Met Office said: “Strong southeasterly winds will also lead to snow drifting in places, particularly over the highest routes, adding to poor visibilities.”

A yellow weather warning or snow is in place from 11am this morning until midnight.

A ministerial meeting of the Scottish Government’s Resilience Room, chaired by Deputy First Minister John Swinney, was held on Monday to ensure preparations and appropriate measures are in place.

Mr Swinney said: “The Scottish Government is in close contact with local authorities and the emergency services to ensure people in the affected areas receive the latest information and support where needed. I would urge everyone in the affected areas to exercise caution and follow the latest travel advice.

“I want to assure the public that we have strong and robust arrangements in place to manage and address weather-related resilience issues at a national, regional and local level.”
