Will it snow in Scotland this weekend?
Scotland is forecast to see a small amount of snow this weekend, but it will be restricted to a specific area.
According to WXCharts, an area around the Cairngorms National Park will see a small amount of snow on Friday (September 27).
However, that will be it as no area of Scotland is forecast to receive any over the rest of the weekend at the time of writing.
Additionally, the Met Office has not forecast any snow for the country.
In a press release discussing the weekend weather across the UK, they mentioned that many areas would be experiencing a relatively dry forecast.
Much of the UK has experienced plenty of rain over this week and that will continue for much of Scotland.
The Met Office's deputy chief Meteorologist Dan Holley said: “After a drier interlude for many on Friday, Saturday and early Sunday, attention shifts to a deep area of low pressure to the southwest which will bring rain and strong winds to parts of the UK, potentially impactful for some.

“A yellow warning for wind has been issued for much of Sunday across portions of southwest England and south and west Wales, where gusts could reach or even exceed 60 mph on exposed coasts, and 50-55 mph more widely.
"This system will gradually track eastwards through Sunday and into Monday and will bring another spell of wet weather fairly widely across the UK.
“We’re continuing to monitor the rainfall with this system, as rain falling on saturated ground in flood-hit areas has the potential to cause further impacts. Stay up to date with the latest forecast as further warnings could be issued in the coming days.”
