“Heavy snow” due as forecaster extends warning for Tayside and Fife until Friday

Freezing conditions will endure across Tayside and Fife until Friday, according to forecasters.

The Met Office has placed warnings of snow and ice on the region from Tuesday right up until Friday.

It comes after Courier Country woke up to several inches of snow on Tuesday morning after cold air from Scandinavia combined with a weather front moving from the north-west of Scotland to the south-east.

One yellow warning of snow and ice is in effect from Tuesday at 11am until Wednesday at 10am, with another in force from Thursday at 10pm until Friday at noon.

The Met Office said that “heavy snow” will hit the region, including to low levels, from Thursday until Friday as temperatures drop following a period of rain, sleet and ice.

A statement from the forecaster said: “Following a spell of rain, sleet and hill snow, temperatures will fall quickly allowing ice to form on untreated pavements, cycle paths and roads. Heavy snow showers will follow.”

The Met Office’s chief forecaster added: “Rain, sleet and hill snow is expected to clear northwestern Scotland late on Thursday evening, and these clearer conditions will spread to all parts by early Friday morning.

“Ice is expected to form as skies clear. Heavy snow showers will follow, and these will be most frequent across Northern Ireland and western Scotland, where 2cm-5cm (0.8in-2in) may accumulate above 100m (328ft) with some snow to low levels too.”

How the yellow warning from Thursday until Friday will affect Tayside and Fife.

The most western regions of Perthshire and Fife will be affected by the snow from Tuesday into Wednesday, with ice also forming overnight. Almost 4in could land on ground above 656ft, with 1.2in possible at lower levels.

Tuesday into Wednesday is expected to be the coldest night this week with temperatures expected to plummet to about -8C locally.
