Met Office forecaster Helen Roberts said: "There are a few batches of snow possible in Scotland.
"The first one is through this evening and overnight, with a few centimetres of lying snow by the end of the night.
"It's fairly standard stuff for this time of year and we're not anticipating putting any weather warnings out, but it could lead to some disruption in the morning."

While temperatures dropped to a chilly minus four or five degrees on Saturday night, it is not expected to dip below freezing across Scotland on Sunday night.
