The latest weather maps and data from WXCharts has forecast snow to sweep across the UK on Friday and Saturday, bringing with it heavy rain, wind and bitterly cold weather.Five cities in Scotland - Aberdeen, Dundee, Dunfermline, Perth, and Stirling - will be dumped with the white stuff.

There could also be showers of snow across other parts of the UK.The mercury is also set to plummet, with temperatures predicted to be lowest in central Scotland at -3C.

The rest of Scotland will sit between -2C and 0C. Frank Saunders, the Met Office Chief Meteorologist, warned that the incoming cold snap would increase the risk of "wintry hazards" like snow and ice, and that Scots should keep an eye on their local forecast."It’s worth being aware that despite a largely pleasant week ahead, there’s a good chance the UK will experience a dip in temperatures at the weekend and into next week," Saunders said."High-pressure is set to move in, bringing along with it easterly winds, low temperatures and an increasing risk of wintry hazards like snow and ice.
