Weather Alert

Category: Level 2 Warning

Weather type: Heavy Snow

Affecting: The Scottish Highlands.

Time and Date Valid For: 20.00 Friday 11th February - 09.00 Saturday 12th January 2005

Time Of Issue: 19.10 Friday 11th February 2005.

A deep low is forecast to cross the UK tonight, with its expected track forecast to cross the Scottish Highlands.

For many parts, a spell of wet and windy weather is likely, with some spells of heavy rain and winds gusting up to gale force at times.

However, over the Scottish Highlands, snow is expected over higher ground above 300 metres or so, with blizzards likely for a time as the low clears away eastwards in the early hours of Saturday.

Accumulations of 10-20cms are quite possible over the higher parts, so drifting may be an additional hazard in the strong winds.

Snow may fall down to lower levels for a time over southern and eastern Scotland in the early hours before it clears eastwards.

Confidence Level: 75%
