Scotland is expected to be battered by heavy snowfall, strong winds and plummeting temperatures later this week.
A vast majority of the country woke up to settled but cold conditions this morning, as Scots got their first proper flavour of the winter season.
The Met Office said that this has been caused by an area of high pressure over Scotland.
But the weather is expected to take a turn for the worst as low pressure systems move in from the north west.
Experts at the Met Office say that this will bring bouts of increasingly cold air.
WXCharts has also predicted heavy snowfall to hit parts of the north east and the Highlands on Thursday.
The bands of low pressure could also bring gale force winds in Scotland on Friday, which the Met Office has described as ‘potentially damaging’.
“It’s a settled start to the week, thanks to high pressure”, the Met Office said.
“However, low pressure systems will move down from the northwest bringing bouts of increasingly cold air later in the week.
“Very windy weather may develop by Friday, with potentially damaging winds in places.”
Snow is once again expected in northern Scotland on Friday and Saturday - with a chance of wintry showers in the south of the country.
Temperatures could also dip to a low of -10C in areas of the Highlands on Sunday, with parts of the south seeing the thermostat drop to -6C.
BBC forecasters have previously said that the sudden change in the conditions will be the result of cold winds surging from Iceland.
The broadcaster’s forecast for the remainder of the month reads: “A surge of colder Icelandic air will spill across the UK over the final ten days of November and linger into the first few days of December.
"The most prominent drivers of this pattern will be high pressure in the Atlantic and a trough over Continental Europe.
"A secondary push of colder Icelandic air is expected to arrive during the latter half of the week, which will further drop temperatures.
"Sharp frosts may occur during some evenings late in the week. A few spells of rain showers and even some patchy snow showers may feature as part of this secondary cold push, mainly in Scotland, which may also experience an uptick in winds as the week progresses."
