SEVERAL weather warnings have been issued for much of Scotland in the next few days, with forecasts warning of heavy snow for much of the country.
A rain warning is in place for the Borders until midday tomorrow. However, the Met Office is warning that much of the nation could be braced for winter weather in the coming days.
A warning has been issued for Kelso, Peeple and Lanark which warns of rain increasingly turning to snow during Wednesday and overnight into Thursday may bring disruption from midday on Wednesday until Thursday afternoon.
Areas of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Ayr could also see some snow as a result of the warning.
The warning suggests that weather could result in possible travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers, possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel. some rural communities could become cut off and power cuts.
Another yellow weather warning has also been issued for much of the north of Scotland with a warning in place for Perth, Aberdeen, Inverness and more from midnight Thursday.
Heavy snow and strong winds will bring blizzard conditions in places leading to travel disruption across the area on Thursday.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
