Scots have been warned to prepare for snow after the Met Office issued severe weather warnings for parts of the country.

Yellow 'be aware' warnings have been for Highlands & the Western Isles, Grampian and, Central, Tayside & Fife.

The warning, which was issued at 10.38am today, is valid from 9am to 11.50pm tomorrow.

The Herald:

The Met Office said: "A band of sleet or snow showers will affect parts of northern Scotland during Friday before moving slowly southwards. Snow will be initially confined to high ground but will start falling to lower levels away from coasts.

"There will be large variations in accumulations due to the showery nature of the snow with some places expected to see little or no snow.

"However, there is the risk of several cm of snow in places, so please be aware of the potential for disruption to travel."
