After a period of milder weather, Scotland is braced for strong winds and heavy snow.
After a week of milder weather, Scots are being warned of a return to wilder conditions over the coming days. An Atlantic jet stream is set to bring "the strongest winds of winter" later this week, with weather warnings being put in place for Scotland's west coast.
The weatherfront hitting the UK thanks to the Atlantic jet stream is forecast to bring a mix of rain showers and snow into the weekend. Overnight into Friday, a huge band of snow will push up from the south west, covering much of Scotland by morning. A large band of snow is expected to cover much of the west coast, stretching from Dumfries and Galloway, up through Glasgow, and as far north as Ullapool.
