Glasgow snow and ice warning as Met Office issues yellow alert for city this weekend

Glasgow could be blanketed by snow this weekend after the Met Office issued it's latest weather warning.

The updated yellow alert explains that snow and ice could make for difficult travelling conditions across the central belt and southern Scotland.

Forecasters explained: "Snow and ice will make travelling difficult across central and southern Scotland during Sunday evening, overnight and into Monday morning."

The latest warning follows days of chilly weather, with temperatures dipping below zero across the city and beyond.

Travellers should take extra precautions, and pedestrians are advised to be careful on icy pavements.

Why is there a yellow weather warning for Glasgow?

On their website the Met Office explain: "An area of wintry showers will move into Angus and Tayside later Saturday and spread southwest overnight to affect more Central areas. This will then clear southwards and decay but showers will likely affect the southeast of Scotland through Sunday morning.

"Falling as rain or sleet near coasts but mostly as snow inland, with 1or 2 cm possible at low levels, but 5cm perhaps 10cm above 200m. Ice is also likely, especially where showers fall as rain or sleet."

How long is Glasgow's yellow weather warning in place for?

It will be in place from 3pm tomorrow (December 10) until 12pm on Sunday (December 11).

What to expect from the Glasgow yellow weather warning

The Met Office says that people in Glasgow and the surrounding area should expect the following:

Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
