Met Office cancels Glasgow snow weather warning as city forecast updated

The Met Office has cancelled the yellow weather warning that was originally in place for Glasgow across a two day period.

Heavy snow was set to fall in the city from today (March 9) and into the following day (Friday March 10), with the warning also set to come into force today.

However, in an update to the forecast, sleet is set to fall in the afternoon, but only for a short period of time with the Met Office stating that the "warning area has been curtailed in its northern extent to remove the Central Belt."

Original reports said that Glasgow would have seen the warning occur at 7am today and finish at 2pm tomorrow. However, this is no longer the case.

Despite the looming snow and warnings to drivers of potential delays on the roads, as well as power cuts, forecasters have said rain is now set to fall. The sleet is set to fall between 5pm and 9pm today. Friday is now set to see mainly sunny intervals with little to no rain.

Despite the warning being lifted, things will still feel wintry, with freezing conditions throughout Thursday and Friday as temperatures battle to stay above 0C.

The warning does however remain in place for England and areas closer to the border such as Kelso and Stranraer.
