Most of Tayside and Fife is now being warned to expect snow – after another change to the forecast.

The Met Office has once again updated its yellow weather warning predicting wintry conditions on Thursday and Friday down the east coast.

The yellow snow and ice warning cover Angus, Dundee, most of Perth and Kinross and all of Fife.

With temperatures dipping to -15.4°C at Kinbrace in Scotland, the weather agency says the Artic influence will continue into the weekend.

Maps show areas where snow is forecast

An updated forecast shows a yellow snow and ice warning in place covering most of Scotland.

This runs from 5pm on Thursday until 10am on Friday and could mean snow showers for the region.

A second warning is in place from 3pm on Saturday until 10am on Sunday.

Forecasters predict showers of white stuff will start around the coast before moving inland throughout the afternoon.

The mercury is expected to drop to -3°C overnight in some areas.

The Met Office says the snow has the potential to cause travel delays, leaving some vehicles stranded, while power could be cut off in rural communities.

Weekend weather

The same warning covers large parts of northern and central England, with an amber “danger to life” alert in place in some parts of the country.

Occasional snow showers are expected on Saturday, which will be mainly dry and bright.

The forecast adds: “Cloudier on Sunday with snow pushing in from the west later, continuing Monday but turning to rain.”
