A separate yellow warning for snow and blizzard conditions has been issued for parts of northwest Scotland, with the Met Office warning that accumulating snow on roads is expected mostly above 200m elevation, where 5-10cm is possible, with a small chance of 10-20cm.
Rain arriving from the south through Saturday afternoon is likely to turn to sleet and snow over hills as it meets cold air across central and northwest Scotland. During the evening, snow may turn heavier and as winds increase, blizzard conditions with drifting and blowing snow are likely to lead to very poor visibility across the hills and mountains of the northwest.

The adverse weather conditions are likely to cause delays across various modes of transport, including road, rail, air and ferry services, with a chance of cancellations. High-sided vehicles may experience delays on exposed routes and bridges, with a chance that some roads and bridges could close.
There is a slight chance of power cuts, which could also affect other services such as mobile phone coverage. Coastal routes and sea fronts are warned to prepare for large waves and beach material being thrown onto seafronts, coastal roads and properties, with a small chance of injuries in exposed coastal areas. There is also a slight chance of some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs.
Glasgow residents and Easter weekend travellers are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and stay updated with the latest guidance from the Met Office.
