The Met Office have issued yellow weather warnings for Ayrshire as Storm Bert is set to hit the region this weekend.
Yellow weather warnings for snow, rain and wind have been issued as Ayr shire braces itself for the effects of Storm Bert this weekend.
In their wind warning, the Met Office said: "A period of strong southeasterly winds is likely for a time on Saturday, with peak gusts of 50-60mph in many parts of the warning area, but 60-70mph in some coastal areas." "Whilst snow will become increasingly confined to higher elevations with time, there is the chance of a transient period of snow to low levels in some areas, with perhaps as much as 5-10cm accumulating in places before turning back to rain. Temporary snow accumulations of 10-20cm are possible on ground above 150m, with perhaps as much as 20-40cm above 300m.
Some roads may be closed due to the conditions and “spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions”.
