Parts of northern Scotland are already experiencing strong winds under an earlier yellow warning. The stormy weather comes ahead of a notable drop in temperatures on Friday, with snow forecast for some regions.
Joanna Robinson, Sky News weather producer, said temperatures are set to remain well below average on Friday and Saturday, with Friday bringing showers and snow reaching relatively low northern areas. Showers will ease on Saturday, with snow largely limited to the highest hills.
