Whitley Bay, England, United Kingdom Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

Information on update: The likelihood of impacts has increased, particularly across central and northern mainland Scotland. An area of snow is likely to move east across central and northern Scotland during Tuesday. Freezing levels may temporarily lift for a time, allowing snow to turn to sleet or rain at lower elevations, before lowering again, with further snow showers likely returning to northern Scotland by the evening.

A further 2-5 cm of snow is likely to fall fairly widely, but there is a chance some areas could see a further 10-15 cm, particularly over higher ground above around 200 metres. Accumulations over the Northern Isles are expected to be lower, but ice is expected to remain a hazard on Tuesday morning and again on Tuesday night.

Precipitation is likely to fall on to frozen surfaces, particularly during Tuesday morning, bringing the potential for widespread icy conditions to develop.

Information on update: Whilst snow showers will ease on Monday night, an ice risk will continue through to Tuesday morning with the warning end time extended. The warning area has also been extended into East Lothian and more of the Scottish Borders. Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered snow showers will move inland from the North Sea during Monday, giving some small accumulations in places. Where snow showers are most frequent, this most likely across southeast Scotland, parts of North and East Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland, fresh accumulations of 5-8 cm will be possible in a few places. Lightning and gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially near windward coasts.

Snow showers should become more isolated through Monday evening, but a risk of ice will persist through Monday night into Tuesday morning as temperatures fall below freezing.

Information on update: Whilst snow showers will become confined to the far north of Scotland during Monday afternoon, the warning has been extended until the end of Monday to cover an ongoing, albeit lower impact ice risk ahead of further snow arriving into western areas late Monday evening. Snow showers will continue through Sunday, being brought well inland by strong northerly winds. Showers will become increasingly confined to the far north of Scotland by Monday afternoon but an ice risk will remain across many areas into Monday evening before a spell of more organised snow arrives in the west later.

The most frequent showers and highest accumulations are expected over the northwest Highlands, Grampian but also Aberdeenshire where 5-10 cm is likely to fall fairly widely with a few places seeing 20-30 cm. Elsewhere, snow accumulations will be smaller, typically no more than 2-5 cm. Strong winds during Sunday may cause further drifting of snow and temporary blizzard conditions.
