Get ready for a winter wonderland, as parts of the UK are set to experience snowfall starting this weekend. Weather experts have signalled a "major change" with an "early winter cold spell" and potential "disruptive" conditions that may trigger weather warnings.The Met Office's latest predictions reveal a five-day outlook on where and what type of precipitation we can expect.Things could kick off with hailstone hitting the Orkney Islands and Outer Hebrides shortly after midnight, according to their forecasts.Then, the Scottish Highlands might welcome the first snowflakes in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Isolated snow showers could continue into Saturday, affecting places like Fort William and Rannoch, with heavier snow expected Saturday night further north in spots like Craig and Loch Glascarnoch.This snowy scenario is predicted to linger, especially on higher elevations, into early Sunday.

Later, at around 3pm, a chilly mix of showers may sweep over southern Scotland, bringing potential snow to Strathyre and Stirling, while Glasgow and Edinburgh could face hail and icy rain.

And, by early Sunday evening, northern England should brace for its share of snow, with Rochester in Northumberland and areas along the Scottish borders, such as Jedburgh, anticipating significant snowfalls.This snowy spectacle will likely drift further south, passing just west of Newcastle as Sunday night unfolds.
