The Northern Lights are expected to be visible in Scotland tomorrow night, according to forecasters.
Experts at the Met Office’s space weather team are anticipating the aurora to be visible in northern parts of the country later on the day on Wednesday.
And there is a chance that Scots stargazers further south of the country may be able to spot the nighttime phenomenon.
The latest forecast of the Northern Lights comes following a coronal mass ejection, or CME, which left the Sun on April 3.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “An enhancement to the auroral oval is likely during the UTC day of Wednesday April 6 as a CME that left the Sun on April 3 passes the Earth.
“This may result in visible aurora across northern Scotland at least, perhaps more generally here and at similar geomagnetic latitudes.
“Some uncertainty remains in the exact arrival time on the UTC day of the 6th April, although it looks likely to be later in the day.”
But the chances of getting the best view of the aurora may be scuppered, as the Met Office is anticipating heavy cloud over much of Scotland over the next few days.
Heavy rain, snow and potentially gale force winds are expected to dominate the forecast as Scots put the spring on pause during the week.
A yellow weather warning for snow has also been issued for northern Scotland from now until 10pm this evening.
Scots have treated to the Northern Lights on a number of occasions this year so far.
