A number of schools in the north of Scotland have been closed due to snow and low temperatures.
More than 1,000 pupils have been affected in the Highlands and Moray areas, with snow, road conditions and loss of heating leading councils to keep some schools closed.
Aviemore, Kingussie and Speyside are among the worst affected areas.
Central Scotland had also been put on alert after a frosty weekend but the region escaped major disruption as rain fell instead of snow on Monday.
Forecasters have now issued yellow “be aware” weather warnings for Yorkshire and the North West of England on Tuesday, with heavy rain due to sweep across the country.
The Met Office said: “Whilst rainfall totals are not expected to be particularly high, in view of current ground conditions please be aware of the possibility of some localised flooding.
“Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, reaching south-western England on Tuesday morning will move fairly quickly north-eastwards across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to lie over a large part of Scotland by Tuesday evening.
“This rain is likely to last approximately four or five hours in any one place.”
The AA said a “distinct north/south divide” in temperatures triggered a series of breakdowns at the weekend, with drivers in North Wales and northern England contending with freezing temperatures.
Spokesman Max Holdstock said: “It’s difficult to know exactly where the rain will fall as snow but the weather is changeable, with heavy rain and sleet with a risk of snow accumulating on higher ground.
“This has led to some difficult driving conditions at times and the risk of further localised flooding.”
Mr Holdstock urged drivers to allow more distance between them and the vehicle in front, moderate their speed and anticipate delays.
