Large parts of Dumfries and Galloway are set to be hit by a big freeze tonight.

The Met Office has issued a weather warning as it expects a rainy few hours to be followed by a sudden fall in temperatures, creating icy conditions overnight and into the morning.

The yellow warning will come into effect at 9pm tonight and last until 10am on Wednesday morning, with the potential for some transport disruption and accidents.

A Met Office forecaster said: “A band of rain and snow will move east across Scotland this afternoon and evening – which could lead to some lying snow on higher transport routes.

“Once this clears temperatures will quickly fall during Tuesday evening and ice is likely to form readily on untreated surface during the evening and overnight into Wednesday morning.”

People are advised to allow extra time for their journeys to risk the chance of slipping or falling.

And, if possible, people travelling on foot or by bike should use main roads which are more likely to have been treated.
