Perth and Kinross residents could endure further travel and power disruptions as stormy snowy weather is expected to hit the region once again.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the county from 3am until 6pm tomorrow (February 18), advising “heavy snow and some strong winds” brought on by Storm Eunice.
Storm Eunice will bump into cold air as it arrives from the Atlantic, creating snowfall in central and southern Scotland, as well as Northern Ireland and northern England.
Substantial snowfall reaching up to 5cm is expected in lowland areas and over higher ground a heaping 20 to 30cm.
Temperatures will drop to 3 to 4C and go below zero through the day amid the snow.
As a result, the national weather service advises “a chance of travel delays” on roads, possibly with “stranded vehicles and passengers”, along with “delayed or cancelled rail and air travel”.
It adds that there is a “slight chance” that some rural communities could be temporarily cut off and chance that “power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.”
“Now through Thursday evening, the winds continue to relax, and as a result if you’re heading to bed on Thursday night, you might think it’s quite calm out there, but very quickly storm Eunice is gearing up as a more powerful storm than Dudley,” said Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern.
Storm Eunice is to be “more powerful” than Storm Dudley which caused havoc in other parts of the country earlier this week.
The Met Office issued an amber weather warning active from 4pm on Wednesday across central and south Scotland and the north of England, with gusts potentially hitting 90 miles per hour.
