The snow ‘storm’ will be focused on Scotland, with much of the country expected to be blanketed on Tuesday, January 6, according to projections.
Weather maps from WXCharts show almost the entirety of Scotland covered by snow from midnight onwards.
Snow is forecast for Scotland on January 6.
That means places like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee can all expect snowy conditions, according to current forecasts.
Around four inches of snow could fall in parts of western Scotland.
Snowy conditions could also drift into parts of far northern England as well as Northern Ireland.
The Met Office’s long-range weather forecast from December 27 onwards suggests mainly settled and dry conditions for many parts of the UK.
It says: “High pressure is likely to dominate across the UK at the start of this period and through to the end of the year.
“This means that weather conditions will be largely settled and for many places it will remain dry.
“It may often be rather cloudy, but any rainfall that does develop is expected to be light with overall accumulations small.
“Winds will mostly be light with temperatures close to or slightly below normal.
“Into 2026, little change is anticipated through the first week of January, with settled and mainly dry conditions continuing for many parts of the UK.
“However, there is a small chance that more unsettled, wetter and milder weather could develop at times, particularly in the north.”
