Drivers are being warned to expect disruption after a Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice was issued.

From 10am on Monday (November 18) until 10am on Tuesday (November 19), there is a chance of ice on untreated surfaces, with spells of rain, sleet and snow set to sweep across the country.

The warning covers Glasgow, East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire, North and South Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire.

The Met Office said: "Spells of rain, sleet and snow are likely during Monday and overnight into Tuesday morning.

"The most likely scenario is for most of the snow to fall on high ground, with 5 - 10cm possible above 300metres and perhaps as much as 15 - 20cm above 400metres. There is a small chance of snow settling at lower levels, where 5 - 10 cm would prove much more disruptive, but this is very uncertain.

"As rain, sleet and snow clear on Tuesday morning, ice may form on untreated surfaces."

On Tuesday, December 10, those ships are gone.Other satellite imagery taken on Tuesday shows at least two Russian frigates redeployed off Syria’s coast.“Most of the Russian naval vessels have departed their traditional positions at their base in the port of Tartus,” Maxar said. “Two Russian frigates have redeployed offshore of the port, between 7 to 12 kilometers (4 to 7 miles) west and northwest of Tartus.”More images taken on Tuesday at Latakia, another Syrian port city, show destroyed Syrian warships “reportedly caused by recent airstrikes that were designed to destroy the former regime’s naval fleet,” Maxar said.Late on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they had carried out strikes against “strategic weapons stockpiles” in Syria, including the Al-Bayda port and the Latakia port, “where 15 Syrian naval vessels were docked.”Russian aircraft, helicopters, and other military equipment remained in place at the Khmeimim airbase near Latakia, according to Maxar images.

Cooler temperatures, calmer winds and a chance of rainfall in Southern California this week are forecast to help firefighters as they battle a wind-driven blaze in steep, rugged terrain that's driven thousands, including celebrities, from their homes in Malibu. The weather improved so much Wednesday that meteorologists said all red flag warnings, which indicate conditions for high fire danger and the notorious Santa Ana winds, were discontinued. The conditions allowed firefighters to have “a lot of success” despite the nearly inaccessible terrain, CalFire Assistant Chief Dusty Martin said.
