A yellow weather warning has been issued for the Highlands and Eilean Siar, with snow and ice expected to cause disruption from Sunday morning to Monday morning.
Wintry showers combined with icy patches will bring potential hazards for commuters and travellers.
Roads and rail services are likely to face delays, with longer journey times expected for bus and train passengers.
Untreated roads, pavements, and cycle paths will become treacherous, with icy patches increasing the risk of slips and falls.
The Met Office is advising people to plan their routes carefully, allowing extra time for journeys and checking for road closures or delays before setting off.
Motorists are urged to ensure their vehicles are winter-ready by packing essentials such as warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, and a mobile phone charger.
Near windward coasts, rain and sleet will dominate, but inland areas could see snow accumulations of 1-4 cm.
As temperatures drop on Sunday evening, untreated surfaces will become particularly hazardous due to ice formation.
Power cuts are possible in some areas, so residents are encouraged to prepare by gathering torches, batteries, and portable phone chargers.
The Met Office emphasises the importance of staying updated, as weather warnings can change quickly.
Simple preparations, like having an emergency kit and altering travel plans, can make a significant difference in staying safe during wintry weather.
The warning remains in effect until 06:00 on Monday, so take necessary precautions to protect yourself and others.
With icy conditions and snowfall looming, now is the time to act and stay prepared.
