What is a yellow weather warning as Met Office alert for Scotland?
These warnings are issued for a range of weather situations that are likely to cause some low-level impact (such as travel disruption) to a limited area.
Such weather warnings mean most people can continue with their day as normal.
Other yellow warnings are issued when extreme weather is capable of causing an impact on most but where the certainty of this is much lower.
The Yellow weather warning for snow in Scotland will be in place tomorrow (Tuesday, February 18).
