Yellow warning for ice in Highlands issued by Met Office

MOTORISTS have been warned to beware ice on the region's roads after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning.

The alert comes into force at 6pm tonight and will remain in place until 10am on Saturday.

"Under clear skies rapidly falling temperatures will lead to the formation of icy patches on untreated surfaces, especially where rain, sleet or snow has fallen today or where there is seepage of water as a consequence of recent wet weather," said a spokesman.

"Please be aware that this could lead to some difficult driving conditions."
