Yellow Warning by Met Office for wintry conditions in Caithness

The Met Office warns that wintry conditions overnight and early Thursday may lead to some travel disruption in a few areas.

Its bulletin today issued at 10.53am states: "Overnight showers and longer spells of rain and sleet, will turn increasingly to sleet and hill snow by Thursday morning, leading to snow accumulations on higher ground, with 1-4cm above 300m. Temporary low level accumulations are possible, perhaps mainly across Caithness but should be short-lived. Ice may form on some inland and upland roads by morning."

What to expect

• Some roads, and possibly railways, may be affected by snow, leading to longer journey times
• Possible icy surfaces leading to increased likelihood of injuries or accidents, probably mainly on higher roads
