This warning was originally issued as a dual warning for Rain and Snow. Information on update: The warning is now a combined rain and snow warning to cater for possible impacts at lower elevations from heavy rain. The impact level has been lowered with the area reduced to northwest of Great Glen. Rain arriving from the south through Saturday afternoon is likely to turn to sleet and snow over hills as it meets cold air across central and northwest Scotland. During the evening, snow may turn heavier and, as winds increase, blizzard conditions with drifting and blowing snow are likely to lead to very poor visibility across the hills and mountains of northwest Scotland. Accumulating snow on roads will mostly be above 200 m elevation, where 5-10 cm is possible and a small chance of 10-20 cm. Meanwhile at lower elevations, particularly across the Western Isles and Skye, persistent and heavy rain may lead to some impacts from surface water flooding. Following rain on Thursday night, a further 20-30 mm of rain is expected widely with 40-50 mm in places. Most of this will fall in around 6 hours.

Information on update: The warning has been changed to a L/M snow warning and end time has been brought forward. The warning area has been adjusted, removing the Hebrides whilst expanding slightly eastwards across mainland Scotland. Outbreaks of snow will spread from the south during the afternoon this becoming heavy at times later in the afternoon and evening, before clearing in the early hours. 5-10cm is likely quite widely to low levels, chance of 15cm in places, with 20-30cm possible on ground above 200m. Strengthening winds will bring drifting of lying snow with the chance of blizzard conditions over the more exposed areas. Some areas of low ground will see rain rather than snow which may lead to minor surface water flooding in places.
