Snow showers affecting high ground are expected to start to fall to low levels through Thursday evening and overnight. Due to the showery nature accumulations of snow will vary, but on low ground 1-2 cm is possible in places by Friday morning, while on hills above 300 metres accumulations of 2 to 5, perhaps very locally 10 cm are possible. In addition to the snow temperatures will fall quickly, and this is likely to lead to ice on untreated surfaces.

Information on update: The impact level has decreased as forecast rainfall is expected to be lower, whilst a separate warning area has been added across southwest Scotland. Rain, heavy at times, will persist across eastern Scotland during Wednesday. This, coming on top of recent rainfall, is likely to lead to some disruption and possible flooding impacts in places. A further 15-25 mm may fall quite widely, with potential for another 30-40 mm building up over high ground. As freezing levels lower from the north, snow is likely to fall above 300-400 metres, especially across Aberdeenshire, Angus and Perthshire, where 5-10 cm of snow may accumulate by the end of Wednesday.
