Weather warnings for Beinn A' Chaorainn

Further details

An area of snow is likely to persist across northern Scotland during Wednesday, spreading down the east coast through the day. This falling as rain or sleet at low elevations, especially around coasts, but is likely to fall on to frozen surfaces, bringing the potential for widespread icy conditions to continue.

A further 5-10 cm of snow is likely to fall fairly widely over higher ground above 100 m, but there is a chance some areas above 200 m could see a further 20 cm. Strong winds could lead to continued drifting or blowing snow in places. Accumulations over lower elevations, coastal areas, and over Orkney and Harris are expected to be lower, but ice is expected to remain a hazard on Wednesday morning and again on Wednesday night, particularly where snow melts during the day and refreezes overnight.
