Jedburgh, in the Borders, hit by flash floods as snow and winds strikes A town was hit by flash flooding as heavy rain and snow caused disruption across parts of Scotland, with wintry showers to continue to batter the country into the start of the week. More than 40 firefighters were called to the scene in the border town of Jedburgh after the Skip Running Burn burst its banks at around 5.45pm on Saturday. Scottish Borders Council (SBC) said that the town centre was affected, with some domestic properties and businesses flooded. One resident had to leave his home and temporary accommodation was provided for him. Fire crews used pumps to clear the water and handed out sandbags, as well as providing reassurance to residents. The burn was back within its banks by 7.30pm. A spokesman for the council said: "Following the flooding in August last year, the council's work, including post incident assessments, clearly showed that flash flooding such as this can occur and the Skip Running Burn is particular vulnerable to this type of event. SBC has plans in place to invest in improvements at the culvert mouth and it will continue to progress these. SEPA has issued eight flood alerts for Tayside on Sunday and four flood warnings for rivers in Tayside, Central, Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders. Meanwhile, snow caused disruption for motorists in northern Scotland as police closed the snow gates on the A9 south at Dalwhinnie due to adverse weather conditions. Forecasters predict that the weather would remain wet and very windy in the run up to Christmas with gusts of 60mph on Monday and up to 90mph on Tuesday. STV's weather forecaster said: "Frequent blustery showers will continue to push west to east across the central belt on Sunday. These will fall as a wintry mix of rain, hail, sleet and snow with 10cm accumulating above 200 metres. These wintry showers will continue overnight on Sunday, falling increasingly as sleet and snow to lower levels. Under the clear skies the temperatures will tumble away to lows of -2 Celsius giving a widespread frost and icy stretches on untreated surfaces. Persistent heavy rain will push up from the southwest through the morning on Monday. As this comes up against the colder air it is expected to turn to snow for a time across the higher ground. The winds will also be a factor reaching gale or even severe gale force of up to 90mph and for this the Met Office has issued a yellow warning.
