Yellow Warning for ice in Caithness tomorrow

A Met Office bulletin issued this morning warns that icy patches are likely tomorrow in Caithness, especially on untreated surfaces, leading to tricky travel conditions in places.

The Yellow Warning states: "Northwesterly winds bringing cold, showery conditions, leading to icy patches overnight and into Friday morning. This is most likely on untreated surfaces, but in some places grit or salt may be washed off by heavy showers.

"Showers will be wintry at times even to low levels, with a few cm of snow possible on some of the the highest routes, and smaller amounts down to around 100-150 metres elevation."

What to expect:

• Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
• Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
