Snow set to hit parts of Scotland tonight - exactly when and where to expect wintry blast

Snow has been forecast to hit parts of Scotland tonight - just hours after rain battered the east of the country leaving homes and roads flooded.

Some residents are in for a cold shock as weather charts show exactly when and where snow will fall tonight with folk warned to wrap up warm.

As reported by the Mirror, while the country has been gripped by weather warnings this week, things do not look like they are going to get any better.

Areas of the country will see a dusting of snow settle from tonight, according to WXCharts. Some areas in the north will see snow of about 3cm fall in front of their homes - starting at about midnight.

Parts of northern Scotland - including Cairngorms National Park, Isle of Skye and Fort William - should see snow of around 1cm - 5cm settle all throughout the night and early on into Sunday morning.

The weather charts showed that, in these areas, snow will continue to fall all through Sunday and well into the end of the week.

Residents are urged to plan journeys well in advance before setting off in the snow - as well as checking your car is in good shape, including inspecting your tyre pressures and breaks.

It has also been recommended people make sure to check local and national transport for any cancellations or delays due to snow.

Meanwhile, the Met Office said unsettled weather will continue as they looked into the long-range weather forecast for November 23 to December 2. Scots can expect periods of rain and strong winds into the beginning December, as well as temperatures creeping back into the seasonal average.

The Met Office has forecast: "Unsettled weather is most likely to dominate at the start of this period. This is expected to bring spells of cloud and rain interspersed with heavy showers and brief dry interludes, especially in the northeast. Moderate to strong winds are likely for many, with coastal gales at times, especially in the west, and temperatures a little above the seasonal average.

"Towards the end of November and into the beginning of December, conditions likely to remain changeable, with periods of rain and strong winds, probably becoming a little less windy overall with temperatures trending back nearer to the seasonal average. More settled weather could become a little more prevalent, as well as overnight frost and fog."
