Areas near Glasgow can expect icy conditions, snow and outbreaks of rain today.

The Met Office has announced that East and South Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire and North and South Lanarkshire will be affected by the cold conditions as a yellow weather warning is in place.

The warning came into force earlier this morning and will be in place until midday today.

The Met Office said: "Outbreaks of rain spreading southeastwards on Tuesday, initially falling on subzero surfaces, and with snow on high ground, could lead to some icy stretches in places during the morning.

"Snow accumulations of one to three centimetres will be possible on some hills above about 300m elevation."

The Met Office says the impact will be low, but the likelihood of impact is medium.

According to the Met Office, those in affected areas should expect some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, as well as some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

Meanwhile, in Glasgow, people can expect some rainfall until early afternoon. After around 12pm, the day will be cloudy and dry.
