Yellow snow warning
A band of snow will move across the warning area through Sunday morning. Across northern England this will mostly be confined to ground above 200 metres elevation, but across Scotland this could fall to low levels during the morning, before becoming increasingly confined to higher ground through the afternoon.
Whilst not all areas may see accumulating snow at low levels, 2 to 5cm is likely, perhaps locally 10 cm. Above 200 metres elevation 10 to 20 cm is possible, perhaps locally up to 30 cm on hills exposed to the strong southerly winds, and over the highest parts of Scotland. Strong winds will lead to some drifting of the snow, and widely icy conditions are likely.
Amounts of snow will depend quite heavily on both elevation and the intensity of precipitation, and as the band pushes east through the afternoon, it will begin to transition to an awkward mix of rain, sleet and snow. Therefore there is likely to be a lot of variation, even over relatively short distances.

Yellow snow warning
Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered wintry showers will continue to feed inland from the North Sea through Friday afternoon, evening and overnight into Saturday morning. These are likely to give some snow accumulations in places, more especially on hills above 100m elevation where 2-5 cm will be possible. As much as 10-15 cm could accumulate on hills above 300m elevation in parts of central and/or eastern Scotland.
Ice will be a more widespread hazard, especially overnight as temperatures fall widely below freezing, particularly away from immediate windward coasts.

Yellow ice warning
Outbreaks of rain will spread southwards during Tuesday evening, falling as snow on hills with accumulations of 2-5 cm possible in places above 300 m elevation, perhaps locally higher over the Lammermuirs and Cheviots. As rain and hill snow clears to the south overnight, temperatures falling to or below freezing will lead to the risk of icy patches on untreated surfaces.

Yellow rain warning
Information on update: Warning area expanded, impact assessment increased. Warning extended until the end of Saturday to cater for prolonged rainfall across northwest Scotland. A band of rain, briefly heavy, will sweep northeast across the warning area during Friday afternoon and evening. Frequent showers will then follow from the west with some prolonged spells of heavy rain expected across northwest Scotland. Accumulations of 40 to 60 mm are likely on hills, and in excess of 80 mm or more across the Northwest Highlands. Following on from recent rain this may lead to some flooding. The rain will be accompanied by very strong winds which will lead to some poor driving conditions.

Yellow wind warning
Information on update: Warning start time brought forward, and area expanded slightly across more of Wales and northern England. Storm Amy is expected to bring a spell of strong winds to many parts of northern and western Britain later on Friday and overnight into Saturday. South to southwesterly winds will increase during Friday, initially in the west before extending eastwards during Friday night. Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely in many areas, and may reach 60-70 mph in more exposed parts. The strongest winds are most likely across portions of northern and western Scotland, where gusts in excess of 90 mph are possible - this is covered by a separate Amber warning for the Friday night period.
The very strong winds will also be accompanied by spells of heavy rain, with difficult driving conditions likely, especially for high sided vehicles on prone routes, such as crosswinds on exposed or high level routes. Winds will ease for most parts through Saturday afternoon, but will continue to be very strong for the Northern Isles and parts of the far north of Scotland through to the end of Saturday, before slowly easing overnight.

Yellow wind warning
Storm Amy is expected to bring a spell of very strong winds to many parts of northern Britain later on Friday and into Saturday. Westerly winds will pick up during Friday, initially in the west before extending eastwards during Friday night. Gusts of 50 to 60 mph are likely for many areas and may reach 60 to 70 mph in some places for a time. Exposed coasts and hills will see the highest gusts which could exceed 80 mph. The strongest winds currently look more likely over parts of northern Scotland. This will lead to difficult driving conditions for high sided vehicles on prone routes such as cross winds on exposed or high level routes.
The very strong winds will also be accompanied by spells of heavy rain, most persistent across parts of western Scotland.
The winds will ease for most parts on Saturday afternoon but will continue to be very strong for the Northern Isles and parts of the far north of Scotland through to the end of the day before slowly easing overnight.

Yellow rain warning
Information on update: Warning area shrunk westwards. End time extended into Saturday. Risk of impacts has been lowered to very low of medium. A band of rain, briefly heavy, will sweep northeast across the warning area during Friday afternoon and evening. Frequent showers or longer spells of rain will then follow from the west during Saturday, easing through the afternoon. The rain will be accompanied by very strong winds which will lead to some poor driving conditions. Accumulations of 40 to 60 mm are likely on hills, and in excess of 70 mm over some Highland mountains. Following on from recent rain this may lead to some flooding.
