Scotland could be blanketed with up to seven inches of snow overnight as the country gears up for more treacherous weather.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice across large parts of Scotland with risk of travel disruption and icy conditions.
The wintry weather is expected to kick off in the early hours of Saturday morning as snowfall sweeps across the Highlands, according to weather website WXCHARTS.
The forecast site is predicting their could be seven inches of the white stuff falling in the early hours of tomorrow morning
Heavy snow is expected from midnight to 6pm on Saturday, with warnings weather will cause power cuts and blocked roads.
Central, Tayside and Fife, Grampian, South West Scotland, Strathclyde, Lothian, Highlands & Eilean Siar and the Borders will be hit affected by snow and ice.
Steven Ramsdale, Met Office chief meteorologist, said: "A milder air mass will move eastwards across the UK early tomorrow.
"But when this warmer, more moist air encounters the cold air situated over eastern parts of the UK snow is likely to fall.
"Whilst the high ground in the north is likely to see the largest accumulations some snow is likely to fall to low levels at times.
He added: “The milder air will eventually win out with the initial snow gradually turning to rain.
"This may also bring some flooding issues following recent wet weather and with snow then melting – though the snow looks to be the greater hazard.”
Flood alerts have also been issued for Central, Dundee and Angus and Tayside for Saturday as melting snow could cause treacherous conditions on roads.
A period of rain and hill snow during the early hours of Saturday morning will be followed by higher temperatures and a thaw of lying snow, according to Sepa.
Fog and mist is also forecast around Glasgow which may pose hazards for motorists.
It comes after Scotland has been hit with a bout of heavy snow and treacherous black ice after plummeting temperatures sparked a massive freeze.
