The Met Office issued an update on Saturday morning ahead of wintry weather
The Met Office has issued a Yellow snow and ice warning for five areas at the start of the week. It issued a new update at around 11am on Saturday.
"Widespread totals of 50 to 70mm are possible over the two days with some places perhaps seeing 100 to 140mm of rain, these higher totals most likely over western Scotland. North and east of Perthshire, precipitation is likely to fall as snow, especially over high ground, with 10-20cm accumulating above 150-200 meters, with several cm accumulating at lower elevations away from windward coasts.
Spray and flooding will lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures, with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. Some communities may be cut off and fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing a danger to life. Power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.
