According to weather tracker WX Charts, up to 2cm of snow is to fall over parts of the Scottish Highlands, including regions like Ross and Cromarty.
This is set to take place on Saturday, October 12 between the hours of 12pm and 6pm with most of this falling at around 3pm.
However, no reports of snowfall have been made by the UK's top meteorological organisation as of yet.
The Met Office has said that "sunny spells" and some showers will occur in the south of England.
It added that "outbreaks of rain" will take place across Scotland and Northern Ireland before sinking south into England.
It said that Saturday would remain "rather cold," continuing the chilly conditions we have seen over the last few days.
On X, formerly Twitter, the Met Office added that "night frosts" could land in some places with more mild conditions returning on Monday.
BBC Weather has made a similar prediction for the Highlands with wet weather and cooler conditions being present throughout the day.
The weather service states that there will be as much as an 80% chance of rain with temperatures dropping to lows of 0C.
