Yellow warnings in are in place across parts of northern Scotland, Northern Ireland, north Wales, the Midlands and northern England until 10am Tuesday morning. The snow warnings are in place from 7pm tonight in England.
Warnings in Scotland remain in place until Wednesday morning.
The Met Office warning states: "A period of rain, sleet and snow will occur during Monday evening, overnight into Tuesday morning. The most likely scenario is for most of the snow to accumulate on hills, with 5 to 10 cm possible above 200 metres and perhaps as much as 15 to 20 cm above 300 metres.
"There is a small chance of snow settling at lower levels, where 5 to 10 cm would prove much more disruptive, but this remains very uncertain. As rain, sleet and snow clear on Tuesday morning, ice may form on untreated surfaces."
This morning (18 November) the warning area was adjusted slightly, mainly to remove it from southern Scotland, where the likelihood of impacts has increased.
