Other areas are bracing for bouts of rain over the weekend
The Met Office has confirmed that snow is likely to fall on Saturday, but only in certain regions of Scotland. However, meteorologists are on high alert for potential snowfall further south as temperatures are expected to drop even lower over the weekend.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said that around 4cm of snow is expected to fall over three hours on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Highlands, parts of Aberdeenshire and some areas of Stirling. He added: "It is only really across Scotland... Obviously, it wouldn't take much of a swing and for that air to be a bit colder when that air comes in for snow to be seen at lower levels, but at this stage it is looks like it is just going to be snow on the hills in Scotland.
Mr Deakin concluded: "Because it has been so mild, it really would be noticeable that we'll see that drop in temperatures... After that , the uncertainty grows," reports the Mirror. Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway expressed concerns stating: "The high pressure that has been responsible for the mainly dry weather through much of this week will retrogress into the Atlantic as we get towards the weekend. This will gradually introduce more unsettled weather, initially in the north from Friday but more widely from Sunday."
