Severe Weather Warnings: Snow/Ice

Date

valid from
   15:00, 06.01.2021
until

Region: Orkney & Shetland

Warning

A band of sleet and snow will arrive across northwest Scotland on Wednesday afternoon and move southeastwards across most parts of Scotland overnight, clearing southwards on Thursday morning. 1-2 cm snow is likely to settle at low levels quite widely with 3-6 cm above 200 metres and up to 10 cm above 300 metres. Rain is more likely around some coasts, and snow may also turn to rain at low levels inland before clearing to leave a risk of ice on untreated surfaces on Thursday morning. Following the clearance of the rain, sleet and snow on Thursday morning, much of inland Scotland will be dry for most of the day. However, snow showers will then follow into northern Scotland on Thursday, especially during the afternoon and evening. A further 2-5 cm is likely at low levels with around 10 cm accumulating above 200 metres. This warning will likely be updated on Thursday.

Accumulating snow may well affect the Glenshane Pass. Snow should ease, whilst probably turning back to rain, early Thursday. Regardless of snow accumulation, after several cold days, ice is likely to be relatively widespread on untreated surfaces.
