Met Office Issues Yellow Warnings for Snow and Ice Across 67 Areas
# Met Office Issues 16-Hour Yellow Snow and Ice Warnings Across 67 Areas
## Alerts Expected to Last Until Tomorrow
The Met Office has released yellow weather warnings concerning snow and ice, affecting 67 areas in England and Scotland. These warnings are set to remain in place until tomorrow, highlighting potential hazards in these regions.
The warnings were prompted by expected clearing skies after recent rain, sleet, and hill snow on Monday night. This shift is expected to create icy patches that could pose risks to pedestrians and drivers alike. “Clearing skies, following areas of rain, sleet and hill snow for a time on Monday night, will lead to the risk of icy patches into Tuesday,” the Met Office stated.
In Scotland, the forecast predicts periods of sleet and snow on Monday afternoon, evening, and night. This weather pattern may lead to disruptions due to accumulating snow and icy surfaces, as noted in their specific warnings for the region. “Periods of sleet and snow on Monday afternoon, evening and night may cause some disruption from both accumulating snow and icy surfaces,” officials advised.
The public is urged to remain cautious as these conditions develop, with the possibility of slippery roads and pathways posing a significant hazard.
