A WEATHER warning has been issued for parts of Scotland as rain and snow is set to hit the country.
The Met Office issued a yellow warning for Tuesday, with Scots asked to take precautions when travelling.
The warning is in place in most of the east of Scotland, from Perth to the very north of the mainland, in Thurso.
Whilst the warning is in effect, people are being warned of potential disruption – mainly to travel – with snow expected on higher ground.
There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.
Flooding could also occur, making driving conditions more difficult and potentially causing train and bus services to be cancelled or delayed.

The Met Office has also warned there is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off, and that public transport cancellations could lead to delays on roads.
The weather warning will be in effect until the end of Tuesday.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
