The forecast is in contrast to Wednesday, with the region enjoying sunny spells and blue skies.
For Wednesday night the Met Office predicts a dry night with clear spells and a widespread frost, which will be “severe” in some glens, and temperatures dropping as low as -7°C in parts.
Looking ahead to Friday, forecasters say there could be some wintry showers in western areas.
A dry start on Saturday will be followed by rain and hill snow, but Sunday will be drier and brighter.
