Met Office: Snow and ice expected on Friday night across Moray

Snow is expected to develop across north and north-east Scotland during Friday night before gradually turning to rain during Saturday.

Initially, snow will be reserved for hills above around 200 metres, but through the night snow is likely to fall to lower levels for a time.

With cold air slowly being replaced by milder air from the south-west, there is some uncertainty in accumulations across the warning area. However, some low-level locations may see 2-5 cm, whilst accumulations of 10-15 cm are likely to be reserved for higher ground above around 200 metres.

An additional albeit temporary hazard will be the chance of ice mainly over higher ground as snow turns to rain.
