Seven towns and cities are set to be hit by the first UK snow of autumn THIS weekend, according to weather maps and charts. The white stuff looks set to fall in parts of Britain this weekend as temperatures plunge.
A cold autumn spell is likely in and around Sunday, September 21, with a dusting likely north of the border in seven parts: Argyll and Bute, Sterling, and Perth and Kinross, along with North Ayrshire and Inverclyde.
Further south, and England looks set to be hit by rain predominantly. The projections come via WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data to predict what lies ahead.

The BBC Weather team says unsettled conditions will continue through the rest of this week and into the start of next week.
However, later in September and into early October, there should be drier and calmer conditions developing as high pressure builds across the UK at times.
Uncertainty will increase, with chances of the atmospheric patterns getting disturbed by former tropical systems moving across the Atlantic, and by the middle of October there could be some wetter weather returning.
Netweather’s Jo Farrow said: “A strong zonal jetstream has been powering across the Atlantic this week, bringing low pressures our way with wind and rain. Huge meandering loops develop in the jetstream over the next few days, slowing everything down.
“As high pressure builds over the north Atlantic, it will gradually replace the weekend low pressure. Sunday night looks cooler in a northerly flow behind the low.
“After some bouts of heavy rain and unsettled conditions, the high pressure will bring fair weather with lighter winds by Monday.”
The forecaster went on, and predicted on Netweather TV’s latest outlook: “However, colder air will be brought south over the UK from the Arctic, replacing the warmer air of this week.”
