The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice with parts of Scotland set for freezing temperatures just days after a spring scorcher.
Flurries of snow are expected to fall on Tuesday evening with showers persistent into the early hours of tomorrow morning - Wednesday, March 30.
Forecasters say showers will turn to snow and hail tomorrow, leading to ice forming across surfaces throughout impacted areas, according to the Met Office.
As much as 5cm of snow is likely to fall on grounds above 200-300m with 1-2cm expected upon areas above 100m.
The Met Office is urging drivers to be careful on roads as ice forming on untreated surfaces could lead to 'hazardous driving conditions'.
Into Wednesday, the Met Office expects snow to continue falling on higher hills and mountains.
The snowy spells are accompanied by low temperatures, with the mercury dropping below freezing across parts Scotland throughout tonight.
Chilly conditions will continue throughout the rest of the week with maximum temperatures of just 5C to 7C across the Central Belt, according to the Met Office.
It comes just days after Scotland recorded temperatures higher than Barcelona with unusually warm spring weather at the end of March.
Scots enjoyed scorching weather throughout the weekend with highs of 18C.
