The Met Office has warned of heavy snowfall in higher parts of Scotland from Friday night and into Saturday morning - with hilly parts of northern England also affected
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for snow in parts of the UK as Storm Darragh sweeps across the nation this weekend.
The Met Office said: “A period of snow is expected to affect higher ground of Scotland during Friday evening and overnight into Saturday morning. About 2 to 5cm of snow is expected to fall above 200 or 300m with 10 to 20cm above 400m which will bring difficult travelling conditions and some disruption to higher routes.
“Drifting of lying snow across the very highest routes above 400m may add to the impacts. Temporary snow accumulations may also affect lower levels for a time on Friday evening. The snow will become more showery and turn to rain or sleet through Saturday morning.” There is also some heavy snow forecast for mountains and fells to the north of Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, late on Saturday night.
