The Met Office has issued yellow weather warning across the Highlands and Eilean Siar.
Snow is expected to create serious disruption over the region as people are being warned to be cautious when traveling with heavy snow.
The warning will last from 4pm on Tuesday, April 5 until 11am on Wednesday, April 6.
In some areas of the Highlands, temperatures will hit 3C with dark clouds all day and a mix of heavy snow and rain throughout the day.
According to the Met Office, residents should expect "a small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel."

There is a "slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off" and the potential for power cuts to occur.
In addition, other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.
Untreated roads and pavements could also become dangerous with slippery icy conditions.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "Persistent rain over northern Scotland will increasingly turn to snow over high ground during Tuesday, then perhaps to lower levels in the afternoon and evening.
"There is some uncertainty by Tuesday night but rain and snow is likely to become focused further north across Scotland with a small chance of 2-5 cm settling at low levels by Wednesday morning and 15 cm above 200-300m - this most likely across Caithness, Sutherland and Ross and Cromarty.
"The band of rain and snow is then likely to move back southwards across Scotland during Wednesday, slowly easing."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
