A FRESH weather warning has come into force for snow and ice across Ayrshire. 

The Met Office yellow warning runs from 7pm on Tuesday night until 10am on Wednesday morning.

Snow and ice may lead to difficult travelling conditions on Tuesday evening, overnight and during Wednesday morning.

Here's what Ayrshire residents should expect...

  • Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
  • Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
  • Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
  • Some short term loss of power and other services is likely

The Met Office said: "Snow showers will affect this area during Tuesday evening and continue overnight into Wednesday morning, initially in the north of the area before spreading south later in the night.

"The showers may heavy at times and accompanied by lightning. Some lying snow is likely with 2-3 cm in places and a risk of 5 cm or more over higher ground. Ice will readily form on untreated surfaces."
