Snow is forecast to hit Scotland, and there is a chance heavy showers could turn to snow in south-east England.
Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell warned Monday morning commuters to leave plenty of time for their journeys, due to "a risk of snow on high ground and slippery surfaces on lower areas".
He added: "This could be a problem during rush hour, it could cause a few problems on the roads. The risk of flooding is still there."
