Winter weather warnings are in place for much of Scotland as a major snowstorm is expected to hit the country this weekend.
Scotland is braced for more heavy snow as we get closer to Christmas. Much of the country could be blanketed in the coming days, according to the latest weather maps. While many of us will be out socialising this weekend after finishing up with work for the festive period, it would be wise to keep an eye on the forecast as a snowstorm may derail your plans.
According to WX Charts' latest weather maps, which use Met Desk data, large parts of Scotland are set to see major flurries on Saturday and Sunday (December 21 and 22), with the worst-hit areas forecasted to have more than 2cm of snow per hour at its peak. The snow is predicted to appear in the North-West Highlands and the Great Glen between Fort William and Inverness on Saturday morning. It will grow in size and strength as the day progresses, being joined by a huge snowfront moving in from the Atlantic Ocean. At its peak on Saturday night - when lots of us will hopefully be having a festive tipple with friends and family - most of Scotland is forecast to see some snow. There are predicted flurries from Shetland and Orkney in the North to Na h-Eileanan an Iar in the West and the Borders in the South of the country. The Borders and the Great Glen are expected to be the worst hit at that time, with heavy snow also likely to be seen from Glasgow west along the River Clyde. Most of Western Scotland is predicted to see snow, along with much of the south of the country, and virtually all of the Highlands. The East Coast is the least affected across the weekend, according to WX Charts, with Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee seeming like they may avoid snowfall. The weatherfront will continue through Sunday but will ease off as it shrinks and drifts back Westwards. By that evening, only the North-West Highlands are expecting any flurrie
