Dundee and Tayside is braced for wintry conditions with the Met Office issuing weather warnings for the area.

Commuters are being urged to ‘be aware’ of icy conditions on the road with freezing temperatures overnight.

Snow and sleet could fall over the area turning to ice with temperatures feeling as low as -3C. Though, as Thursday progresses temperatures could peak at 8C with an overcast day. Snow is expected to lie on ground 150m above sea-level.

The yellow warning has been put in place from 6pm until 9am tomorrow.

Then another weather warning has been issued for tomorrow afternoon with gales of up to 70mph due to batter the area.

The winds, coming from the north, have the potential to cause some damage, according to the Met Office and the warning could be upgraded to amber urging people to ‘be aware’.

A statement for the Met Office read: “Scattered, wintry showers are expected across Scotland this evening and overnight, and with road temperatures often falling below freezing there is the risk of some icy patches developing. These showers will also bring some snow accumulations above 150-200m, with some temporary wet snow to lover levels.

“Please be aware of the risk of some difficult driving conditions and localised disruption to travel.”

On Thursday’s wind warning, they added: “West to south-westerly gales are expected to develop widely across Scotland and parts of northern England during Friday. The strongest winds are most likely to affect the north of Scotland, elsewhere winds are expected to widely gust 50-60 mph, possibly up to 70 mph in exposed locations.

“Be aware of the potential for difficult driving conditions and disruption to travel.

“Given the uncertainty mentioned above and the potential for medium impacts, this warning is likely to be updated in the coming days.”
