The warning lasts until 10am tomorrow morning, with Glasgow set for freezing temperatures over the next couple of days.

Although the city itself isn't covered by the weather warning, according to BBC Weather Glasgow is set for lows of -3C today and lows of -2C tomorrow (Thursday 31 March).

The Met Office's official forecast for Strathclyde today reads: "Any rain and cloud will quickly clear south leaving a bright day with sunny spells. A scattering of wintry showers in the afternoon but a lot of shelter for Ayrshire. Chilly northeast winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C."
