The Met Office have issued a Yellow Warning for Caithness saying that a "cold night with icy stretches" are likely to form quickly tonight (Saturday (November 27).

The bulletin issued this morning states that rain and sleet showers will continue through Saturday evening and overnight into Sunday around northern and eastern Scotland and eastern England.

It continued: "These will turn to snow at times to low levels but mainly over modest high ground with some small further accumulations. Surfaces will remain wet from these showers with icy stretches likely to form readily Saturday evening. There is also likely to be some icy stretches forming where snow is already lying over parts of the high ground of northern England and Scotland.

"There is a chance of some more general snow falling over the far north and northwest of Scotland during Sunday morning and this may bring some local further small accumulations."
