Met Office: Warning of further snow on the way for the north-east

Snow showers are set to return to the north-east on Monday.

Rain expected from early Monday morning will turn to snow bringing the chance of some disruption to transport and infrastructure.

Icy surfaces are likely later.

Cold air spreading southwards across the UK, following this band of rain, sleet and snow, will bring frequent snow showers to northern, western, and eastern Scotland, as well as parts of Northern Ireland.

Overnight on Monday these will accumulate on some roads and pavements, with anywhere between a light dusting and several cm of snow possible.

Between the showers, partially melted snow is likely to freeze on untreated surfaces leading to icy stretches.

Wintry showers will continue through Tuesday, although by mid-morning the temperature on most roads will likely have risen sufficiently to reduce the risk of further accumulating snow or ice.
