The weather in Scotland could turn wintry as snow could fall over two days, according to one meteorologist.
Wintry showers have already dusted snow on the Highlands this season, but another Arctic blast could be in the cards before the end of the month. One expert predicts a cold snap will pave the way for flurries when temperatures could drop to just above freezing from October 25.
British Weather Service's senior meteorologist Jim Dale says parts of northern Scotland will experience snowy conditions from Friday, October 28 - with up to 7cm falling in North Wales and up to 2cm in central parts.
Mr Dale says this is due to a colder snap which will move in days beforehand. He believes the snow could be around for as much as two days.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, he said: "It's on one of the models covering Wales and northern Scotland. There will be a frosty spell - with a front moving in.
"It probably will not be very severe but we will have to wait and see. If it arrives as shown then a day or two of lying is possible, but certainly, the cold is going nowhere fast."
Temperatures will begin dropping from the start of the week beginning October 25 with the north seeing lows of around 5C - but the southeast will still remain fairly warm with thermometers still recording low teens.
But for the areas set to be affected by snow, temperatures will struggle to sit above freezing on October 28 with highs of 2C to 3C.
Mr Dale added: "It's a gradual thing - the cold arrives from the north on the 25th and onwards from there. But, caution is required though. What you see now will probably be different by the time we get there.
