The spring-like conditions many have enjoyed in recent weeks are likely to be disrupted with heavy rain and snow forecast in parts of the UK.
The Met Office says while there may be sunny spells in the south and east of the country, many should brace for wintry conditions returning on Thursday.
Clouds, winds and outbreaks of rain are forecast, with downpours being the heaviest on western hills.
Blustery showers are expected to hit the northwest and there is a chance of snow on Scottish mountains.
Up to 50mm of rain could fall over the Lake District, with heavy rainfall possible further south.
On Friday, temperatures are expected to drop across the country.
Jason Kelly, chief operational meteorologist for the Met Office, said: "A notable shift in wind direction to a north-westerly flow will bring a markedly colder day nationwide on Friday, with the potential for a mixture of sunny spells, heavy showers, coastal gales, and snow over high ground.
"There's also the possibility of accumulations on lower hills too. The picture will become clearer closer to the time, so keep an eye on our forecast as the week progresses."

Joanna Robinson, Sky News's weather producer, said: "The next few days will generally see temperatures around average or slightly above, with highs reaching the mid-teens on Thursday.
"Rain moving through on Thursday will introduce colder air from the north, with temperatures widely below average on Friday and Saturday before recovering slightly.
"Friday will bring showers, with snow down to relatively low levels in the north, especially early on.
"There'll be fewer showers around on Saturday, and the snow risk will become increasingly confined to the highest hills.
"Frosty conditions overnight will bring the risk of icy stretches."
