Edinburgh weather forecast: More snow predicted for Capital on Tuesday as weather warning remains in place

The Met Office has predicted that Tuesday will see snow fall all through out the day in Edinburgh.

A combination of light and heavy snow fall will fall on the Capital, though the sun will come out around 1pm until 3pm for a bright afternoon.

The heavy showers will hit at 7am, 9am, 4pm, then from 6pm onwards.

Although it is a yellow weather warning that covers the city of Edinburgh, West Lothian and surrounding areas will face an amber warning.

Temperatures will drop below 0C, and will feel as cold as 5C.

A statement from the Met Office warns: "Snow showers are expected to continue during Monday night and Tuesday with some large accumulations building up in parts of central Scotland.

"Across the area 5-10 cm of snow is expected to lie fairly widely with areas of 10-20 cm, perhaps particularly over higher parts of the Central Belt and the chance of 25 cm of snow in one or two spots.”

All weather warnings will remain in place until Wednesday night down the east coast of the country.

The Met Office confirm: “Warning extended to end of Wednesday, with ice dropped in favour of snow being the primary hazard. Area extended westwards slightly across Northern England.”

Anybody who is planning on travelling should check train and bus schedules before leaving as delays are expected.

There are also slip warnings on walk ways.
