Rapid snowmelt in areas where there is still lots of snow combined with the rainfall over frozen ground will likely result in significant water run off. People situated in areas prone to water run off in winter during these situations should be prepared.
Strong southerly winds are also forecast today gusting to 80 km/h over most areas. These strong winds will gust to 110 km/h on the Lee of the Highlands later this morning and early this afternoon. Fog patches will also develop today with the mild air giving low visibilities.
