MULTIPLE warnings are in place across Ayrshire with severe weather set to hit the region over the next few days.
A Met Office yellow warning is currently in place until 10am on Friday, and covers the whole region.
It warns of wintry showers and icy patches this evening and overnight, perhaps leading to some travel disruption.
A second yellow warning begins on Saturday at 4am and finishes at 9am the following day, with heavy snow on Saturday, followed by a rapid thaw and subsequent rain on Saturday night.
Residents can expect...
- Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
- Probably some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths
- Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
