Edinburgh cold snap and snow forecast as Met Office issues Beast from the East update

Large parts of Scotland are set to see a 90 per cent chance of snowfall in the coming days, as the country braces for a cold snap at the end of February.

The Met Office has confirmed that a major sudden stratospheric warning (SSW) has taken place this week, reports the Mirror. The SSW could bring some wintry weather to the UK, similar to the Beast from the East.

Central and northern Scotland are also set to see widespread snowstorms that could impact Edinburgh and the Lothians within days. A map from WXCharts has shown that Edinburgh will be hit with snow by next week, forecasting the worst of the snowfall on Sunday, March 5.
