Forecasters have said there is potential for up to four inches of snow on higher ground and two inches on lower ground.
The weather could cause delays to travel, with passengers told there is a “small chance” rail and air services could be cancelled.
Meanwhile, rural communities have been warned that power cuts may occur and mobile phone coverage may also be impacted.
Bear Scotland will have teams working to keep routes as safe as possible, but motorists are being urged to remain cautious when on the roads.
