“A widespread frost will develop over the northern half of UK,” it said.
Frost is expected in Glasgow, Belfast, Stornoway, Aberdeen, Lerwick among others.
Rain, sleet and snow is expected to impact travel and create unsafe conditions on slippery roads and pavements.
“An area of low pressure moving eastward has brought a mild, and blustery start to the week for much of England and Wales, with showers and some coastal gales. However, an Arctic maritime air mass will reassert itself from the north later today bringing with it another dose of snow and frosty nights for some,” said Met Office chief forecaster Dan Suri.
The Met office has also said that from Wednesday while frost and ice will begin the day, rain and hill snow will edge eastward from the afternoon.
