WEST Fifers are being warned to wrap up warm and take care in slippy conditions after the Met Office issued a yellow alert for ice and snow tomorrow.

Rain, sleet and snow will move slowly and erratically southwards across much of central Scotland early on Saturday. Some locally heavy outbreaks of snow are likely over high ground and also to lower levels, mainly inland. In addition, icy surfaces are likely, particularly on Friday night and into Saturday morning.

A frost will also develop on Friday evening before rain, sleet and snow spreads south and this will lead to the risk ice as this falls onto frozen surfaces in places. Drier conditions should slowly follow into Saturday afternoon.

The public should be aware of difficult travelling conditions and the risk of some transport disruption due to both snow and icy surfaces.
