If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger).

Information on update: The impact level has decreased as forecast rainfall is expected to be lower, whilst a separate warning area has been added across southwest Scotland. Rain, heavy at times, will persist across eastern Scotland during Wednesday. This, coming on top of recent rainfall, is likely to lead to some disruption and possible flooding impacts in places. A further 15-25 mm may fall quite widely, with potential for another 30-40 mm building up over high ground.
As freezing levels lower from the north, snow is likely to fall above 300-400 metres, especially across Aberdeenshire, Angus and Perthshire, where 5-10 cm of snow may accumulate by the end of Wednesday.
