Scottish Borders Council’s assistant emergency planning officer, Brian MacFarlane, said: “It will be slow to clear the Borders area with it turning drier and colder again from 9pm tomorrow night.

“You might find snow down to all levels overnight tonight but for the majority of us that will turn to rain during the day.

“However snow may accumulate on the higher ground and routes like the A68, A7 and A703 to Edinburgh may be affected with the potential for some transport disruption.”

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “A spell of rain and snow is expected, with disruptive snow mainly over higher ground.
