Scotland could be hit by the tail end of Storm Noa as low pressure may bring heavy rain and an overnight freeze.
The strong winds are set to impact the south of the UK with some gusts reaching 70mph - and while Scotland could miss the majority of the wind, it could see a return of wintry weather from Wednesday.
Scotland can expect up to 30mm of rain in western areas, according to the Met Office. Although it likely won't face the travel chaos expected down south and in Wales, temperatures in Scotland are expected to be 5C, but will dip to freezing level overnight tonight, particularly in rural areas in the north of the country.
The weather system, named Storm Noa by Meteo France, has not yet been classed as a storm by the UK Met Office but yellow warnings for wind have been issued in southern parts of the UK.
The Met Office says that It will remain unsettled through the rest of the week, with sunshine and heavy showers for many tomorrow with persistent rain in the south on Friday.
Weather could then become drier and brighter moving into the weekend and more especially next week with temperatures starting to rise.
It comes after a wintry start to the week in parts of Scotland, which saw a yellow warning for rain issued in southern and western areas on Monday.
Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon said: "The set up is low pressure dominant both in the South West and in Scotland.
"Overnight tonight and into Thursday, we are expecting these low-pressure systems to combine and move into the North Sea.
"This will leave behind showers across much of the UK with winds decreasing throughout the day on Thursday."
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Matthew Lehnert, added: "Most places will see showers or longer spells of rain today but the impacts are most likely to come from strong winds.
"Gusts of 50-60 mph are possible quite widely in the southwest, with up to 75 mph in exposed coastal areas."
