Summary

Amber snow warning in Scotland has been downgraded by the Met Office.
Yellow warnings for snow, ice, wind, and rain are still in effect.
Melting snow and rain may still cause flooding across parts of Scotland.

An amber warning for snow in Scotland has been reduced by the Met Office following a week of disruptive winter weather. The alert for central Scotland, Grampian, and the Highlands, initially set to conclude at 15:00 on Sunday, was lifted earlier at 11:00. This indicates a lessening of the most severe snow conditions.

However, the weather situation remains unsettled. A yellow warning for snow and ice is active until 14:00 today. Furthermore, yellow warnings for wind and rain are in force across various parts of the country until 10:00 on Monday. These warnings highlight ongoing risks of hazardous conditions.

Despite the absence of further weather warnings for the remainder of the week, Scotland's environment agency, Sepa, has issued a caution regarding potential flooding. The combination of rainfall and melting snow is expected to increase flood risks in vulnerable areas, requiring continued vigilance from residents and authorities.
