When will it snow in Glasgow?
According to weather forecasters at the Met Office, the city should see the first of the snow fall on Thursday, March 9.
The snow should fall from as early as 12pm lasting much of the afternoon. It is then set to stop at around 9pm.
According to the BBC, it will snow from 11pm on Thursday and carry on into Friday (March 10). It will continue to snow until 11am on Friday where it will then pick up again around 9pm.
Both Saturday (March 11) and Sunday (March 12), according to the BBC, will see the snow but rain will also fall during this time meaning it will likely not come to much.
Is there a weather warning in place for Glasgow?
Yes. The Met Office recently added a yellow weather warning for Glasgow which is set to come into force this Thursday (March 9) and into Friday.
Starting at 3am, forecasters warn that locals should expect "heavy snow" which "has the potential to cause significant disruption on Thursday and Friday". It is expected to end around 6pm on Friday.
Glasgow yellow weather warning - what to expect
The Met Office add:
- There is a small chance that long delays and cancellations on bus, rail and air travel could occur
- There is a slight chance that roads may become blocked by deep snow, with many stranded vehicles and passengers
- There is a small chance that communities could be cut off for several days
- There is a small chance that long interruptions to power supplies and other services, such as gas, water, telephone and mobile phone coverage, may occur
Explaining their reasoning for a warning they said: "Snow could develop quite widely across the warning area on Thursday and Friday as a potentially quite deep area of low pressure moves across the UK.
"Parts of Northern Ireland, north Wales and northern England are currently expected to see the worst of the conditions on Thursday, with parts of Scotland and northern England then seeing the heaviest snow on Friday. Event totals could bring 5 to 10 cm of snow to many locations, even at low elevations, with potentially 15 to 20 cm accumulating across the northern portion of the warning area.
"Higher elevations of the North Pennines, Southern Uplands, higher parts of the Central Belt and the southern Highlands may see as much as 30 to 40 cm of snow in places. In addition, there is potential for strong winds, which may lead to blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow. "
