BRITS look set to face the coldest day of the season so far as temperatures plunge with the possibility of snow early next week.
Snowflakes could be seen falling in the more remote and higher places in northern Scotland on Monday as a “cold plunge” hits our shores.
The Met Office said this was “fairly typical” weather for the time of year and wouldn't affect lower ground or cause any disruption.
Further south, Scotland and northern England could see some heavy downpours.
Southern England will remain dry and bright in the early part of next week with temperatures likely to hit a high of 20C.
Some heavy showers are expected in the South East on Friday and scattered showers across the rest of the UK although this will be mixed with some bright skies.

For most parts temperatures will be in the high teens, possibly reaching 20C around London.
The weekend will also see chilly conditions particularly overnight and first thing in the mornings.
Eastern parts are likely to see some showers although at the start of the weekend things should be drier and brighter and a band of high pressure comes in from the West but it will still be cold due to a north-westerly air flow coming in.
Into Sunday, low pressure could bring a risk of gales and heavy rain for the northern part of Scotland.

He said it would be “most likely the coldest air of the season so far.”
Mr McGivern added: “It’s certainly going to feel cold first thing with a touch of frost in the North and chilly winds.”
Temperatures are predicted to drop to low single figures and below zero for some areas, bringing a touch of frost and some snow showers at the start of the working week.
