"A few cms may develop locally at lower levels into the evening. Rain and snow should clear to the south of the area Monday evening, and with skies clearing, icy stretches will be possible on untreated surfaces. Occasional snow showers will follow into the north and west of Scotland during Monday evening and night giving a few cm of snow in places."
