Edinburgh and the Lothians first chance of snow has been predicted for Sunday morning.
MetDesk radar projections show bands of possible snow moving across Edinburgh and the Lothians in the early hours of Sunday, generating up to half an inch of ‘precipitation rate.’
WX Charts, a radar service provided by MetDesk Limited, has predicted dry skies all day on Saturday with wet weather moving into Edinburgh early Sunday morning.

The long range radar shows snow predictions with shades of white to purple, and by Sunday morning at 6am, purple bands cover most of Edinburgh, the Lothians and the majority of the central belt.
By Sunday at noon, WX Charts still projects snowfall across Edinburgh but with less chance of accumulation.
The heaviest snow is predicted for the centre of the country, furthest from the coast. However, Edinburgh may see up to a half an inch of snowfall depending on a number of factors.
The UK Met Office concurred with the conditions on Saturday morning into Sunday.
“Saturday fine, dry and sunny, but occasional areas of rain crossing from west overnight and through Sunday. Longer and heavier outbreaks of rain extend northeast Monday,” the Met Office predicted.
However, the Met Office radar projections show a slightly different picture. The Met Office currently predicts hail and a possible icy mix falling around 3am on Sunday with patches of icy hail and rain throughout the rest of the day.
The Met Office has estimated that Sunday may reach a maximum temperature of 6C, and a low of 3C. However, the temperatures could feel as low as 1C due to wind chill, moisture and a number of other factors.
