BBC Scotland Weather forecaster Kirsteen MacDonald said: "Low pressure associated with Storm Barra continues to influence our weather today, although it's a much weaker affair.
"Showers or longer spells of rain particularly around northern and eastern areas turning wintry over high ground.
"Otherwise fewer showers, more in the way of breaks in the cloud, lighter winds compared with yesterday although gale force gusts for the northern isles at times.
"Into this evening and into tonight, scattered showers for the northern isles and the northeast along western coastal areas too. Otherwise dry with some clear periods, a touch of frost for many and the risk of some icy patches."
