Yellow alerts for ice and snow run from 15:00 on Sunday to 11:00 on Tuesday. The service said "scattered sleet and snow showers, and icy patches" may cause travel disruption, as well as potentially injuries due to slips and falls.
Devon County Council warned locals to travel with care, and said roads and paths that looked clear were likely to still be frozen.
It advised drivers to accelerate gently, increase stopping distances and allow more distance between vehicles.

While many areas would see little accumulating snow, there was potential for several centimetres on Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, it added.
