A weather alert has been issued for snow and ice across much of Scotland - including Helensburgh and Lomond - on Tuesday. 

The Met Office yellow warning runs from midnight on Tuesday morning right through to midnight on Wednesday morning. 

The weather organisation says delays on the roads are likely, with potential for disruption to public transport services. 

 

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Snow showers will continue to feed inland early on Tuesday morning across northern and western Scotland, parts of Wales and northwest England where 2-5 cm of snow is possible over a few hours in some places.

"During the day, an area of more organised rain, sleet and snow is likely to move east with further showers following.

"There is still some uncertainty in the track of more prolonged snow, and it is possible that at lower elevations across Wales and northern England, this could turn to rain for a time.

"However, there is a chance some places could see 5-10 cm perhaps 20 cm of snow, particularly across the northern half of Scotland and over higher ground elsewhere."
