Glaswegians could be in for a difficult commute tomorrow morning as the Met Office issues the city - and its surrounding areas - with yellow warnings of wind, ice, and snow, bringing possible travel disruption.
As the tail end of Storm Ewan is felt across the nation, the Met Office said: “A small area of very strong winds is likely to move northeastwards over parts of the northwestern half of the UK.
“The area of strongest winds will clear the northeast of Scotland on Monday morning.
“For many, a short period of gusty winds are likely with speeds perhaps reaching 70mph in exposed locations whilst inland parts are more likely to see isolated gusts of 50 to 60 mph.
“Some disruption to transport is possible. Heavy rain may also prove an additional hazard.”
Issuing a message on ice - from Sunday morning into Monday morning, the weather centre added: “Icy stretches are expected to form overnight leading to difficult driving conditions on untreated roads and slippery conditions on pavements.
“In addition, wintry showers will affect parts of western Scotland and Northern Ireland with up to 2cm possible over higher ground.”
BBC Scotland Weather has also reminded drivers to be careful on the roads today.

The warning has come just days after Storm Doris wreaked havoc across the UK
The latest warnings make Storm Ewan the fifth-named storm of the season.
