“There is a risk of slippery surfaces and difficult driving conditions. Snow showers are expected, mainly over higher ground in the north and west of Scotland, with longer journey times possible.”

The organisation’s chief forecaster said: “Showers across northern and western Scotland are expected to bring further snowfall with 1-2 cm (0.4in-0.8in) possible to low levels, and 2-5 cm (0.8in – 2in) above around 200m (656ft).

“Across Northern Ireland and northern England, snow will be confined to higher routes, but icy patches are likely where showers leave surfaces wet.”

Traffic Scotland has also warned drivers to be wary on the roads.

A statement from the organisation said: “There is a risk of slippery surfaces and difficult driving conditions. Snow showers are expected, mainly over higher ground in the north and west of Scotland, with longer journey times possible.”
