Edinburgh weather: snow expected tomorrow as yellow warning for ice remains in place this morning

With temperatures set to drop to freezing overnight, forecasters have predicted that snow will fall in Edinburgh between 5am and 10am on Thursday.

While temperatures will remain low tomorrow it looks like the snow will clear by the afternoon giving way to cloudy conditions.

A yellow warning for ice remains in place until 11am today across most of Edinburgh as the temperature stays close to zero degrees, though sunshine is expected intermittently throughout the day.

A statement on the Met Office website says: “As ground temperatures fall below freezing, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces.

"Some wet snow may fall to low levels at times well inland but any settling will mostly be confined to high ground.”

Looking forward to the weekend, forecasters predict that Edinburgh will see a temperature rise that will continue into next week.
