Edinburgh's weather forecast as snow and lows of -3 predicted for capital

Although spring may have sprung and people are looking forward to the Easter holidays, some not so spring-like weather is predicted as snow is said to be on the way.

And this is no April Fools' joke - although we wish it was because we do miss the warmer temperatures.

The capital, according to weather forecasters, is set to see snow tomorrow (April 2) however this will thankfully be when we're all in bed - unless you're out late of course.

Both the Met Office and BBC Weather state that amid lows of -3C, which is set for tomorrow, snow will also fall tomorrow between 4am and 6am.

Thankfully we will have sunny spells that day too between the hours of 12pm and 7pm - so its unlikely that the snow will come to much at all.

More snow is then predicted yet again a week today on Friday (April 8) with it set to fall from 2am until 7am.

Again, this will not likely come to much as rain is set for most of the day.

After this no more snow is predicted for the next two weeks, but this could change.

But what does the weather look like for the week ahead?
