Areas of Scotland are set to experience snow showers by midnight on May 4, according to recent WXCharts data. The Highlands and Argyll and Bute are particularly expected to see heavier and more sustained snowfall.
Temperatures are predicted to drop significantly, with lows of -3C forecast as a cold spell takes hold. Forecasters highlight the inherent complexity of predicting snow in the UK.
