Yellow weather warning in Lanarkshire could mean chaos for Wishaw commuters

Wishaw commuters could be set for a difficult journey home as the Met Office issued a amber weather warning for parts of Lanarkshire.

The warning for heavy snow for towns such as nearby Carluke and Lanark comes into force at 2pm.

The amber warning means travel delays on roads are likely, stranding some vehicles and passengers and some delays and cancellations to rail travel are likely.

In a statement on its website, the Met Office said: “Snow showers will become frequent and heavy at times through Tuesday afternoon and evening giving accumulations of 10 cm of snow within a few hours, particularly above 150 metres.

“Strong winds, gusting over 50 mph at times, will lead to blizzard conditions and considerable drifting of lying snow over high ground.”

Currently Wishaw, Shotts and Motherwell remains in the yellow weather warning area meaning possible travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers and possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel.
